Friel will be back as Detective Sergeant Marcella Backland, accompanied by Ray Panthaki, Nicholas Pinnock, Jamie Bamber and Jack Doolan, reported Digital Spy.
Production has begun on the new series of the show, but no air date has been yet decided.
The series will see Marcella investigate the discovery of a young boy's body inside a wall, surrounded by toys and a school blazer.
"I'm thrilled to be reprising the role of Marcella. The reaction from everyone has been amazing, although the real question I keep being asked is whether the green parka will be making an appearance in season 2 as well?," says Friel.
