Series two of the show recently landed on BBC iPlayer , with the drama first airing on BBC One in May 2023. A spokesperson told RadioTimes.com : ⁘We are incredibly proud of the success of Annika on U+Alibi, but there are no current plans for a third series.⁘ One of the unique aspects of the show was that Annika breaking the fourth wall to address the audience directly as each story progressed.

The series was based on the BBC Radio 4 drama of the same name, and most of the episodes were written Nick Walker, who previously explained that the difference between the original concept and what ended up on screen would ultimately end up with viewers becoming a sort of 'sidekick' to the detective herself.

While the hit series was still in production, Nicola admitted that one of the things that stood out to her about the role was that there was 'no subtext' to the character because that came as a result of addressing the audience directly.

She said: ⁘With most characters there is so much subtext. But there is no subtext with Annika because the subtext is her talking directly to you and telling you what she feels. By the end, we are going to know her as well as she knows herself.

⁘On the first day, I kept stopping and laughing. It felt so wrong.

But by the end, I was so into it, I was flicking looks at the camera all the time. I'm very worried about my next job now – 'Why does she keep looking down the lens?' It might have ruined me for the future!⁘
