BBC One's beloved crime drama Shetland is making its highly anticipated return to television screens, bringing viewers back to the stunning but deadly Scottish islands.
When Can You Watch the New Series?
The new series of Shetland is scheduled to begin airing on Wednesday, November 13th at 9pm on BBC One. For those who prefer streaming, episodes will also be available on BBC iPlayer immediately after broadcast.
What's in Store for DI Ruth Calder?
This series marks the second season featuring Ashley Jensen as DI Ruth Calder, who took over the lead role from Douglas Henshall's character, Jimmy Perez. Jensen's character returns to her native Shetland on a mission from the Met Police to retrieve a vulnerable witness.
However, the investigation takes unexpected turns as Calder finds herself confronting her own past and the complex relationships she left behind on the islands.
Familiar Faces and New Challenges
Alongside Ashley Jensen, viewers can expect the return of several fan-favourite characters including Alison 'Tosh' McIntosh (played by Alison O'Donnell) and DC Sandy Wilson (Steven Robertson).
The new series promises the same atmospheric storytelling that has made Shetland a critical success, combining gripping murder mysteries with the breathtaking landscapes of the Scottish Isles that almost become a character themselves.
Why Shetland Continues to Captivate Audiences
Since its debut in 2013, Shetland has developed a dedicated following for its intelligent writing, compelling character development, and unique setting. The show has successfully navigated the transition between lead detectives while maintaining the quality that earned it BAFTA awards.
With its combination of complex crime storytelling and stunning cinematography, the new series of Shetland looks set to continue this impressive tradition.
