Annika is back on our screens - but for how much longer? 📺

Annika’s trip to visit her daughter will be cut short this weekend after a body turns up. How typical!
The second series of the crime drama is currently airing on the BBC on Saturday nights. A ‘decision’ has reportedly been made on series 3 and it is bad news for fans.
Nicola Walker has returned to play the titular character, having originally voiced her in the BBC Radio 4 drama Annika Stranded. But how many episodes are left in the series?
When is Annika on TV next?
Originally broadcast on Alibi two years ago, the latest season of Annika has finally arrived on the BBC. The second series is being broadcast on Saturday nights including tonight (August 30).
Annika will be on BBC One/ HD at 9.10pm tonight. The episode is scheduled to run for approximately 50 minutes and finish at around 10pm.
The preview, via Radio Times, reads: “Morgan starts working at a remote Scottish eco-resort, but Annika's trip to visit her is interrupted when a local builder employed by the resort turns up dead in a nearby stream.”
How many episodes are left in Annika season 2?
Just like the first run, Annika will have six episodes in total in the latest series. It will also likely be the last with UKTV reportedly having “no current plans” for further episodes.

In the BBC Radio 4 version the action was set in Oslo, but it has been moved to Glasgow.
