Spy thrillers are one of my favorite genres, and one of the best is back in the form of “Black Doves” Season 2. Keira Knightley returns as Helen Webb, alongside her assassin best friend, Sam (Ben Whishaw). And this time, someone is targeting Helen’s handler. Throw in new faces played by Neve Campbell and Ambika Mod, and I’m very ready. You can watch Season 2 of “Black Doves” when it drops on Thursday, Nov. 5 on Netflix.

Everything you need to know about ‘Black Doves’ Season 2
When will ‘Black Doves’ Season 2 come out on Netflix?
All six episodes of the second season of “Black Doves” debut on Netflix on Thursday, Nov. 5. There’s no weekly rollout for this one, so you’re welcome to get your binge on ASAP.
Why watch ‘Black Doves’ Season 2 on Netflix?
Because it’s the only place you can watch it. “Black Doves” is a Netflix original series, so you’ll need a subscription to watch it. Tara and I have the $9 per month plan with ads (we usually don’t mind the commercials), but you can go ad-free for $20 per month, and upgrade to 4K and HDR for $27 per month.
Can you watch ‘Black Doves’ Season 2 for free?
Nope. At this moment, Netflix doesn’t offer a free trial in the U.S., so there’s no good way to watch “Black Doves” for free when it drops. Now, that doesn’t mean Netflix won’t eventually introduce a free trial here. They are currently testing free trials in other territories so here’s hoping that eventually spreads to the U.S. But for now, you’ll need a subscription.

What is ‘Black Doves’ Season 2 about?
“Black Doves” Season 2 picks up with Helen Webb still secretly passing British government intelligence to the Black Doves, even as her husband, Wallace, prepares to become prime minister. That tension has always been one of the best parts of this show.
Meanwhile, someone is going after her handler, Mrs. Reed, and Helen finds herself back in the thick of another conspiracy. She teams up with her old friend Sam, a former top assassin who’s turned to taking cheap jobs and drinking alone in Soho bars. As the two dig deeper, they start running into old enemies and questioning who they can actually trust. And this time, the mystery leads them right into the heart of the Black Doves organization itself.
