Will ‘The Hairdresser Mysteries’ Get A Season 2? Here’s Everything We Know So Far

Sally Phillips fans finally have a new cosy crime drama to sink their teeth into, and viewers are already asking the inevitable question. Now that ‘The Hairdresser Mysteries’ has landed on BBC One, curiosity about a potential second season is building fast.

The show only just premiered, but that has not stopped fans from wondering whether Lily Petal’s salon sleuthing will continue past its first run. The series began airing on BBC One and BBC iPlayer starting July 17 at 2 p.m, giving audiences their first proper look at the world of Blossom Vale.

What We Know About the Blossom Vale Setting

‘The Hairdresser Mysteries’ is set firmly in the past, and that retro backdrop is a big part of its charm. The series is set in the 1970s and follows Lily Petal, a high end hairdresser who leaves the competitive city scene behind for a quieter life running a small salon on a cobbled village street.

The village itself functions almost like a character in its own right. Set in the fictional village of Blossom Vale, the show mixes murder, robbery, and general chaos while Lily and her allies work to get to the bottom of it all.

That confessional dynamic between stylist and client is central to the whole premise. In a place where everyone confides in their stylist, Lily soon finds herself entangled in local intrigues, using empathy, intuition, and a sharp eye for detail to solve the community’s most puzzling mysteries.

It is a gentler kind of crime drama, and that seems to be intentional. For viewers who have had enough of dark and bleak crime dramas, ‘The Hairdresser Mysteries’ offers a lighter, more playful alternative, following Lily Petal across six episodes as she transforms from former hairdresser to crime solving extraordinaire.

Sally Phillips Leads a Familiar Cast

Phillips is no stranger to comedic and dramatic roles, and this project leans into both. Lily’s sidekick is fellow hairdresser Clary Coombs, played by Charlotte Jordan, and the two use their intuition while chatting with customers to begin untangling the village’s mysteries.

The supporting cast rounds out the salon’s world nicely. Alongside Phillips and Jordan, the cast includes Adrian Hood, who appears in three episodes, and Marie Helen Berry in a recurring role across two episodes.

Behind the scenes, the show has a solid pedigree of British TV talent. The series was created by Jim Cartwright, with Mark Catley and David Semple also contributing as writers, while Paul Gibson, Jermain Julien, and Tracey Larcombe handled directing duties across the six part run.

Interestingly, the project has been in the works for close to a year already. The series was confirmed back in September 2025, produced by Mill Bay Media in association with Night Train Media, with Will Trotter and Oliver Kent serving as executive producers alongside Herbert L. Kloiber and James Copp.

‘The Hairdresser Mysteries’ Season 2 Status

Here is the honest answer for anyone hoping to plan ahead. As of right now, there is no confirmation either way about a second batch of episodes. Tracking sites currently list the renewal status for a next season as simply not known, even though a hypothetical season 2 is already being flagged as the next season if the show is renewed.

Given that ‘The Hairdresser Mysteries’ has barely had a chance to find its audience, that lack of an announcement is not surprising or unusual. Networks typically wait to see how viewership numbers and reception shake out before greenlighting anything further, and a same day renewal is rare even for shows that perform well out of the gate.

There are some promising signs pointing toward the show’s staying power, though. The Hairdresser Mysteries has already found international life beyond the BBC, with distributor Sphere Abacus set to sell the Sally Phillips starring cozy crime drama internationally alongside other Night Train Media titles. That kind of early distribution push suggests the producers have confidence in the format extending well past six episodes.

What a Second Season Could Look Like

If ‘The Hairdresser Mysteries’ does get picked up again, there is plenty of room to keep mining Blossom Vale for fresh drama. The first season’s mysteries range from suspicious deaths tied to local businesses to celebrity visitors stirring up trouble, so a follow up run could easily introduce new faces passing through the village while keeping Lily and Clary’s salon as the emotional home base.

The tone the show has established, warm, a little gossipy, and rooted in community rather than grit, gives it a distinct lane among British crime dramas right now. That could work in its favor with BBC schedulers looking to balance out heavier programming with something cosier, especially as the genre continues finding audiences hungry for lower stakes mysteries with a strong sense of place.

For now, everything about a potential season 2 remains speculation built on early buzz rather than anything official. Fans eager for more of Lily Petal’s salon chair sleuthing will want to keep an eye on how the show performs in these opening weeks, since that response is likely to shape whatever comes next.
