Keira Knightley is back as super spy Helen Webb in Season 2 of “Black Doves,” alongside Ben Whishaw as her troubled colleague Sam Young and Sarah Lancashire as her stoic spymaster Reed. The show, created by Joe Barton , returns with plenty of action, blood and bodies as Reed goes missing, Sam makes a Faustian pact with a shady benefactor and Helen’s secret identity is almost exposed — a threat that’s all the more serious given her new role in Number 10 Downing Street now that her husband, Wallace (Andrew Buchan), has become Prime Minister.

With Season 2 out now on Netflix, Knightley and Barton sat down with Variety to discuss why the showrunner chose to focus on Reed’s backstory this season, how the series differs from Apple TV’s London spy thriller “Slow Horses” — and the one character Knightley really wanted to kill. We still don’t know a lot about Helen’s backstory by the end of Season 1, but Season 2 focuses on Reed’s.

Why did you decide to shift the focus this season? Joe Barton: It organically came out the storytelling process of Reed’s backstory, and the idea of the sins of the past coming forward and everyone suffering for them.

And I wanted to do a “Berlin in the ‘80s” spy thing. We do get a flashback of Helen just after she’s given birth and is trying to balance parenthood, marriage, friendship and her career (one that involves killing people).

How do you have such good insight into motherhood, Joe? Barton: My partner tells me every day.

Keira Knightley: I was gonna say, I think you’ve got a front row seat to that one. The line when Helen is lamenting having to kill Marie (Molly Chesworth), and she says “Do you know how hard it is to find a good nanny?” rang particularly true.

Knightley: [Joe] handed me the script that [said] “You’re shooting the nanny,” and I was like, “But she stays late, what the fuck are you talking about? She never goes home — this is the childcare of dreams.” But she has taken the kids, so we do have to kill the nanny.

So we did have that conversation. There’s also the scene in which Helen is about to shoot Franz (Rainer Wöss), and her breasts start leaking because she’s still breastfeeding, which mirrors a scene in Season 1 when Helen is shooting assassins while heavily pregnant.

How much are you thinking about that juxtaposition of mother and mercenary when you’re preparing for the role? Knightley: That’s what I love about it, because life doesn’t stop just because you’ve got other stuff.

I think that’s what’s lovely about the whole show, is that as heightened and — I mean this in the best way — ridiculous as the whole thing is, it equally has that very human part of it, and that’s what makes it great, in my opinion. That’s what makes it really fun, and that’s what makes it really interesting.
