If you have already watched every crime drama available, do not worry. Seven gripping new series will be released over the next few months. From a fresh Harlan Coben adaptation and legendary actress Glenn Close exploring her dark side to an acclaimed Scottish bestseller making its way to the screen, crime fans have plenty to look forward to.
It just shows that when you think the genre has nothing left to surprise you, another compelling mystery is always around the corner. Here are seven new crime dramas you will not want to miss – and where you can stream them.
I Will Find You
Harlan Coben is back with another gripping thriller, this time with Avatar's Sam Worthington in the lead role. The actor stars as David Burroughs, a man wrongfully imprisoned for his son's murder. When David discovers his son might be alive, he plans to escape prison and clear his name. The eight-episode series also features Britt Lower, Milo Ventimiglia, Erin Richards, and Madeleine Stowe. Watch I Will Find You on Netflix on June 18.
Glenn Close
Channel 4's dark new drama stars Oscar-winning actress Glenn Close as Maud Oldcastle, an elderly woman with a passion for murder. Maud spent her youth looking after her sister and sets out to live her life the way she wants. But when a young detective investigates a suspicious death in her building, Maud finds that the secrets she thought were buried are beginning to resurface. The six-part series is based on Swedish author Helene Tursten's short story collections, An Elderly Lady Is Up to No Good and An Elderly Lady Must Not Be Crossed. Up To No Good is expected to premiere on Channel 4 in late 2026.
The Dark
This chilling six-part drama follows DI Monica Kennedy (Laura Donnelly) as she teams up with her new partner, DC Connor Crawford (Mark Rowley), to hunt a ruthless killer. When the investigation becomes linked to the missing son of Bethany Morgan (Helen Baxendale), it becomes apparent that this is the work of a serial killer, kickstarting the beginning of the ultimate game of cat-and-mouse. Adapted from G.R. Halliday's bestselling novel From the Shadows, this gripping Scottish thriller is set to keep viewers hooked from start to finish. The Dark will air on ITV and be available to stream on ITVX this summer.
Old Town Murders
When it comes to gripping crime dramas, few do it better than the BBC. The witty, twisty Welsh series follows DI Glyn Walsh (Mark Lewis Jones) and DS Sion Dearden (Steffan Rhodri), two old friends who work together to solve complex murders in the seaside town of Tenby. Although they are expected to be on their last legs, the pair are continually called upon to tackle fresh murder mysteries. Old Town Murders will air on BBC One and iPlayer later in 2026.
