Professor T Crime Drama Starring Ben Miller Finds New Streaming Home on Disney+
The acclaimed crime drama Professor T, starring Death in Paradise actor Ben Miller, has secured a new streaming home on Disney+. This move expands the show's availability, allowing fans to catch the first series on the popular platform alongside its existing presence on ITVX.
Plot and Characters of the Hit Series
Debuting in 2021, Professor T centres on Jasper Tempest, a brilliant Cambridge University criminology professor portrayed by Ben Miller. The character struggles with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), which contrasts with his genius for solving crimes, often requiring him to assist police in messy, complex investigations.
The series features a strong supporting cast, including Emma Naomi as DS Lisa Donckers and Frances de la Tour as Jasper's domineering mother, adding depth to the narrative. Ben Miller, widely recognised for his role as DI Richard Poole in Death in Paradise from 2011 to 2014, brings his expertise to this compelling character.
Production Updates and Fan Reactions
To date, three series of Professor T have aired, with a fourth and fifth season currently in production. Last summer, Ben Miller shared an update on Instagram, confirming that filming for the fifth series had wrapped. He praised the hardworking crew and cast, highlighting their dedication to the show.
Fans have expressed overwhelming joy at the news of more episodes. Comments on social media include exclamations like "This is wonderful news!!!" and "Love this show, can't wait." Another viewer noted, "My favourite show. Just brilliant," while others admitted anticipation for new seasons after the cliffhangers of previous ones.
Streaming Availability and Future Prospects
With the addition of Disney+, Professor T now reaches a broader audience, enhancing its popularity. The show continues to be available on ITVX, ensuring existing fans can still enjoy it. This dual-platform strategy is expected to boost viewership and engagement as new seasons premiere.
The series' success is attributed to its unique blend of crime-solving intrigue and character-driven storytelling, focusing on Jasper's personal challenges. As production progresses, fans eagerly await the release of upcoming episodes, promising more thrilling cases and dramatic developments.
