ITV1 have announced that the critically acclaimed series The Fixer will return for a second series in 2009, as state-sponsored hit-man John Mercer continues his work on the dark side of the law.

As Andrew Buchan, Tamzin Outhwaite, Jody Latham and Peter Mullan get set to bring down a new set of criminal targets, the action steps up several gears. Exciting, emotionally layered and brimming with tension, their fight to bring justice to the streets is about to get even dirtier.

Peter Fincham, Director of Television, says: “The Fixer was a gripping first series that had an unmistakable touch of class. I’m delighted that it’s coming back - it’ll be bigger and better than ever.”

Jane Featherstone, Executive Producer and Joint Managing Director of Kudos, says: “We’re thrilled to be bringing The Fixer back and look forward to more fun and action from our unique team of renegade crime fighters.”
