Fleabag season 2: New cast

Of course, Phoebe-Walter Bridge soared back into the screen in the lead role. She still maintains her position as the show’s writer/creator.

She returned for season two with some new faces. Kristin Scott Thomas now stars, who you may know from such recent films as The Darkest Hour and Tomb Raider.

Then we have Fiona Shaw. She’s perhaps best known for the role of Petunia Dursley in the Harry Potter films.

This brings us to consider the arrival of series breakout; the priest.
