A year since we all became absolutely obsessed with thrilling crime drama The Sinner, Netflix has now treated us not only to a brand new trailer for the new season, but also a RELEASE DAAAATE!

And guess what? It's coming at us real soon.

That's right, get ready to block off some serious binging time, as season two will hit the steaming service on 9 November.

Our first dose was a hit with pretty much everyone, receiving an impressive 94 percent fresh ratings on Rotten Tomatoes - meaning the new series has strong boots to fill.

Thankfully, judging from the programme synopsis and new trailer, we're in for an equally exciting ride.

"The Sinner Season 2 lures Detective Harry Ambrose (Bill Pullman) back to his hometown in rural New York to assess an unsettling and heart wrenching crime - parents murdered by their 11-year-old son, with no apparent motive," the show's synopsis reads.

"As Ambrose realizes there's nothing ordinary about the boy or where he came from, the investigation pulls him into the hidden darkness of his hometown.

"He's pitted against those who'll stop at nothing to protect its secrets - and the mysterious Vera (Carrie Coon) who proves to be a complicated, enigmatic piece to this haunting puzzle."

The first season of The Sinner was based on the German novel of the same name, which was a standalone story - meaning the forthcoming follow-up series will feature an entire new plot.

Luckily, Netflix will be releasing all eight new episodes in one go, so that fans can binge to their heart's content.

It recently wrapped on USA Network, meaning if you're the daft type that likes to go around hunting for spoilers on the internet, then you can go right ahead. You won't find any here though. Nope.

One thing we will tell you is that season two's lead star, Carrie Coon, has promised everything isn't quite what it seems.

"[Showrunner] Derek Simonds has all these twists up his very well-tailored sleeves," she told Variety.

"The detective genre is generally pretty satisfying because the point of doing it is to solve the crime and the point of The Sinner is to identify the motivation for the crime that's already essentially solved. And so I believe that they do a good job with their mission and so you get all the fun parts of a detective story, all the thrilling, exciting bits.

"And in addition to that you get this really interesting psychological journey, hopefully truthful psychological journey that feels real. I think we've gone to some pretty unusual places this season. I admire Derek taking some bold strokes at a genre people are really familiar with."

BRB, just off to go and book some annual leave for 9 November...
