I had never heard of this series (I don&#8217;t normally watch Britbox), so I watched the first series, &#8220;The Tower&#8221; and then the upcoming episodes of &#8220;The Tower 2: Death Message.&#8221; They were very entertaining. If you loved the books, or you liked the first series, you will certainly enjoy the second one. It has the same actors and a similar story, but with more action and character development. Of course, it has a great mystery or two. Speaking with the writers and actors was great because they were kind and funny.<\/p>\n<p>First, I spoke with Writer and Executive Producer Patrick Harbinson and Author and Executive Producer Kate London. I generally only speak to actors and producers, so it&#8217;s a rare treat to speak to a writer or director. They didn&#8217;t disappoint!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-42367\" src=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/harbinsonlondon.png\" alt=\"Writer and Executive Producer Patrick Harbinson and Author and Executive Producer Kate London\" width=\"292\" height=\"190\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/harbinsonlondon.png 372w, https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/harbinsonlondon-300x195.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 292px) 100vw, 292px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Interview with Patrick Harbinson and Kate London of &quot;Tower 2: Death Message&quot; on Britbox\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sy2P8_trKok?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Next I spoke with Stars Gemma Whelan, Jimmy Akingbola and Tahirah Sharif!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-42366\" src=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/towercast.png\" alt=\"Stars Gemma Whelan, Jimmy Akingbola and Tahirah Sharif\" width=\"495\" height=\"188\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/towercast.png 661w, https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/towercast-300x114.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 495px) 100vw, 495px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Interview with stars of &quot;Tower 2: Death Message&quot; on Britbox\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-ncXJNmF8Jc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>MORE INFO:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-42369\" src=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/britbox.png\" alt=\"Britbox by BBC and ITV logo\" width=\"263\" height=\"114\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/britbox.png 334w, https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/britbox-300x130.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 263px) 100vw, 263px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\":2f6\" class=\"hP\" tabindex=\"-1\" data-thread-perm-id=\"thread-f:1763802773017010604|msg-f:1763802773017010604\" data-legacy-thread-id=\"187a4946eb8721ac\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-42365 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/tower2cast.jpeg\" alt=\"Stars Gemma Whelan, Jimmy Akingbola and Tahirah Sharif of &quot;The Tower 2: Death Message&quot; on Britbox\" width=\"299\" height=\"228\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/tower2cast.jpeg 393w, https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/tower2cast-300x229.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 299px) 100vw, 299px\" \/>*Trailer Debut* THE\u00a0<span class=\"il\">TOWER<\/span>\u00a02: Death Message | Returning May 16 | Starring Gemma Whelan, Tahirah Sharif, Jimmy Akingbola &amp; Emmett J.
