Joel and Ellie face new threats in the second series of the mushroom zombie epic. Plus: knotty thriller Reunion continues. Here’s what to watch this evening
9pm, Sky AtlanticAnybody else hear a clicking noise? Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey’s hit mushroom zombie drama is back for a second season. It starts with a flashback scene, signalling major trouble ahead, but, in the present, Joel (Pascal) and Ellie (Ramsey) have been settled in a thriving community in Wyoming for the past five years. Joel’s most pressing problem now is that he feels emotionally estranged from 19-year-old Ellie (Ramsey) – who hasn’t told anyone about her immunity to the virus. Catherine O’Hara and Kaitlyn Dever are top additions to the cast, and though the opener begins slowly, it inevitably has an action-packed payoff involving Clickers – with the threat of new types of monsters to come.
