A first look at series two of has arrived, just as Moonage Pictures wraps filming for the new installment at The Bottle Yard Studios and on location in Bristol (assisted by Bristol Film Office) and the West 🎬

Series one – which also based at The Bottle Yard Studios whilst filming in our region – was a big hit when it landed last Summer, becoming one of BBC iPlayer’s most watched titles with 16-24 years old and BBC Three’s highest rating drama since its relaunch.

In series two, Pip (Emma Myers) is determined to fix the fallout - and stay away from any more investigations - after solving the Andie Bell case. But a new mystery will take Pip to unexpected places as she struggles with the idea of justice, straying even further from the ‘good girl’ she once was.

Based on Holly Jackson’s series of books, hashtag is produced by Moonage Pictures for BBC iPlayer and BBC Three in co-production with Netflix and ZDFneo.
