The date has been confirmed for the return of Time Team's archaeological series exploring the secrets of Sutton Hoo.
The first episode of the second season will premiere on YouTube on Saturday, November 14, while Patreon members will be able to watch it a week earlier.
It comes after they teased that a second series was coming up, following another excavation at the world-famous archaeological site near Woodbridge.
A new 54-second trailer has now offered the first glimpse of what viewers can expect, opening with the team declaring: “Here we are again, back at Sutton Hoo for year two of our bucket-list dig.”
It teases a series of potentially significant discoveries, with one archaeologist asking “that’s gold, isn’t it?” while another suggests they may have found either “mega archaeology or lots of rabbit burrows”.
Among its most intriguing moments is the apparent discovery of a boat-shaped feature, prompting the reaction: “Oh my God, that really does look like a boat.”
The trailer promises “mysterious burials, extraordinary discoveries, and plenty of surprises”.
The latest episodes follow excavations undertaken in Garden Field during 2025 as part of a two-year research project between Time Team and the National Trust.
The team had previously spent a month digging at Sutton Hoo in 2024, when archaeologists uncovered missing pieces of the sixth-century Bromeswell Bucket.
Further investigation revealed the Byzantine vessel had contained cremated human remains and grave goods, indicating it had been used as a burial vessel for an important person.
The new season continues investigations into Garden Field and the wider archaeological landscape surrounding the famous Anglo-Saxon Royal Burial Ground.
