The Marlow Murder Club season 2 will see Samantha Bond return to Marlow for new murder mysteries and there's not long to wait now as it's been confirmed it will start in March.
The first season proved a big hit, with nearly three million people tuning in, and so it's little surprise it's getting a new six-part series.
It comprises three two-part murder mysteries, with the first mystery an adaptation of Death in Paradise creator Robert Thorogood's second Marlow book, "Death Comes to Marlow", with the other episodes being brand new, standalone stories.
In the meantime, Thorogood's fourth book in the series, "Murder on the Marlow Belle", came out in January 2025. And a fifth book is also on the way in 2026.
Here’s everything we know about the new series...
Marlow Murder Club season 2 release date
The Marlow Murder Club season 2 will begin at 8 pm on U&Drama on Wednesday, March 19. The whole series will also be available as a box set from that date.
We don't have an American release date as yet, but it's likely to be screened on PBS Masterpiece.
Cast
Samantha Bond returns as retired archaeologist Judith Potts. And she's joined by Vicar's wife, Becks Starling (Cara Horgan), and dog-walker, Suzie Harris (Jo Martin). DCI Tanika Malik (Natalie Dew) is also back.
The guest cast has now been announced. Guest stars include Tom Stourton (Stath Lets Flats, A Small Light), Caroline Langrishe (Lovejoy, Agatha Raisin) and James Wilby (The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, Poldark) as Tristram Bailey, Lady Bailey and Sir Peter Bailey in episodes one and two.
Nina Sosanya (Baby Reindeer, Screw) and Andrew Knott (Maryland, Ackley Bridge), star as Grace and Dean in episodes three and four, alongside Patrick Robinson (Sitting in Limbo, Shetland) and Samantha Womack (EastEnders, Kingsman: The Secret Service) as Phil and Caroline Wingrove. Plus, Hugh Quarshie (Holby City, Stephen) as Professor Gifford, Elizabeth Bennett (Doctors, Father Brown) as Ursula, Camilla Beeput (Hijack, The Suspect) as Jackie, and James Gaddas (Hollyoaks, Doctors) as Harry in episodes five and six.
Plot
The makers promise three new murder mysteries for them to crack. They tease: "From a seemingly impossible murder inside the locked study of a sweeping mansion, to the mysterious case of a man murdered in the middle of a sleepy cul-de-sac with no connection to the town, and an unexpectedly brutal accident at the prestigious Marlow sailing club that quickly reveals itself to be something more sinister, there’s no rest for our sleuthing trio.”
Is there a trailer?
