Sequel
The success of the series and its favorable impression on BBC executives lead to Abbott being commissioned to write a sequel, before the first series had even been aired.
In 2006, however, a second series appeared to have been abandoned, with Abbott telling Mark Lawson on BBC Radio 4's Front Row in November that he couldn't find a way to make the story work. In 2007, Abbott was quoted in The Sun as saying that he was currently writing scripts for a second, six-episode series of State of Play, with John Simm and Bill Nighy reprising their roles.
