A wave of chaotic energy has returned to screens with the second season of the BBC’s hit comedy,Black Ops. The show, a brilliantly crafted blend of crime and hilarity, is back with six brand new episodes promising even more unpredictable adventures.
The story centers around Dom and Kay, two remarkably inept community support officers played by Gbemisola Ikumelo and Hammed Animashaun. Initially tasked with simple community duties, their lives took a sharp turn when they were unwittingly pulled into a dangerous world of undercover operations and criminal networks.
Season one, which premiered in 2023, captivated audiences with its unique premise and sharp wit, drawing in 2.3 million viewers for its debut and averaging 1.6 million throughout its run. The show quickly established itself as a standout in the crowded landscape of British comedy.

Fans have enthusiastically embraced the show’s quirky charm. One viewer on IMDb described it as “smart and funny and drama all at the same time… that’s hard to pull off.” Another praised the “twisting and gripping” plot that kept them hooked until the very end.
Gbemisola Ikumelo, who also co-created the series, described the new season as “rediscovering your favourite shoes – a little bit older and stiffer but even more fabulous!” She hinted at ambitious new storylines and a heightened sense of stakes for Dom and Kay.
