Contextual Plot for Season 2
The logline for The Change season 2 states: Linda (Christie) has got some explaining to do. Faced with the repercussions of the lies she’s told the forest community, along with losing the Mother Tree, and the arrival of husband Steve who has come to bring her home, Linda’s future in the forest looks uncertain. But she’s already come a long way since being mother/wife/homemaker Linda Jane Jenkins of Swindon, and her journey is far from over.
Crook’s Enthusiasm for Directing Season 2
Mackenzie Crook shared his excitement about directing season 2: The Change was my favourite TV show of 2023 and so to find myself directing Series 2 feels like winning a competition. My prize includes Bridget’s beautifully crafted scripts, a cast of comedy legends, and a summer of filming in the glorious British countryside. What a privilege to be working with Expectation and to be back on Channel 4 where I started my career.
A Stellar Ensemble Returns

,Liza Tarbuck continues her performance as Siobhain, and Jerome Flynn’s unique portrayal of Pig Man will captivate audiences once again.
