About Mr Selfridge (Season 2) (2014) Five years on, Europe is on the brink of war and London is enjoying one last defiant period of hedonism and decadence. Having rocked the retail world with his pioneering new store, Harry Gordon Selfridge (Jeremy Piven, Entourage) now has his sights set on joining the establishment and rebuilding his family life. His desperate attempts to win back estranged wife Rose (Frances O'Connor, Madame Bovary) are hindered by her friendship with Delphine Day (Polly Walker), the daring and extravagant owner of a fashionable London nightclub. Tensions are also running high on the shop floor as Agnes (Aisling Loftus, Page Eight) is back from Paris, chic and successful. Not everyone is thrilled by her new found confidence and by the sudden reappearance of her old ally Henri Leclair (Grégory Fitoussi), who has mysteriously returned from America. Created by Emmy Award-winning writer Andrew Davies (Pride and Prejudice), Mr Selfridge Season 2 also stars Amanda Abbington (Sherlock) and Ron Cook (Little Dorrit). Don't miss the series UK's Radio Times calls "glossy and irresistible drama," and UK's The Independent dubs as "Downton's racier cousin." Mr Selfridge, Season 2 airs Sundays at 9:00pm ET on PBS.
