What happens

Safe House is a British crime drama, broadcast on ITV, with the first series starring Christopher Eccleston and Marsha Thomason as the principal characters, Robert and Katy, who turn their beautiful picturesque guest house in the Lake District into a Safe House after being persuaded by one of Robert's former colleagues. The first series of Safe House began broadcasting in April 2015, receiving favourable reviews and an impressive viewership. Leading to the development of a second season. Yet, Eccleston didn't return for the second season due to 'confidential' reasons, though it's believed he started working on it. This prompted a new cast and a new filming location, and the series premiered on September 7, 2017. Each series is made up of four episodes, each following a different set of guests who are forced to take refuge at the Safe House, whilst re-telling the story of how they came to arrive in the first place. The first series was released on DVD on 25 May 2015. The second series was released on 20 November 2017. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
