About Bodyguard
Bodyguard aired in 2018 on BBC One from Jed Mercurio, pairing Richard Madden as protection officer David Budd with Keeley Hawes as Home Secretary Julia Montague. Six hour-long episodes track threats, politics and PTSD after a train attack. Ratings climbed each week toward a huge finale.
The plot is tightly linked, with episode one planting the train rescue, episode two widening the conspiracy and later hours turning on inquiry pressure. Budd loyalties shift as new evidence lands, so order matters. No second season has aired, so the six episodes stand as the complete story. Watch straight through for full effect.
Good to know
Watch episodes one through six in order without skipping. The conspiracy builds clue by clue, and late twists reframe early scenes. Avoid summaries before viewing since the midseason turn changes everything. Each hour runs near 60 minutes. Treat the 2018 finale as the end point until any new run is confirmed by the BBC. Keep phones off for the finale, since one late reveal reframes the whole run.
