That is good news Pawsabelle. It definitely deserves a second series unlike a lot of ITV programmes. What I don't get is why ITV repeated the first episode a couple of weeks back and then just bumped it for Poirot!
Just found the following on Digispy, might explain why Poirot replaced Afterlife
'the re-run of series one of afterlife has been pulled due to low ratings (received an e-mail from ITV after asking where it had gone).
It is scheduled for a run on ITV3 prior to series 2 showing on ITV1'
the series came out on dvd - i'm really glad there will be another series ... as far as i can remember we dont know if shes dead or not at the end of the last one
