BBC Three has unveiled a new trailer promoting the second series of In the Flesh.

It was announced last year that a second run of the zombie drama had been commissioned, with it due to air in the first week of May.

The trailer shows Kieren Walker (Luke Newberry) struggling to pick a side, with the voiceover at the end of the trailer adding: "Choosing a side will tear him apart."

Dominic Mitchell's zombie saga will pick up nine months after the devastating events of the first series, with PDS sufferer Kieren desperate to escape his hometown of Roarton.

The new series will comprise six parts, with the show's creator Mitchell hinting that it will expand on the mythology introduced in the first series.

"With the first series, we had three hours, so it was good to be self-contained," the writer explained. "I wanted to explore the mythology more in series two - but it's still domestic and everything is still channelled through Kieren's experience."
