The Marlow Murder Club announces season 2 release date in new trailer
Posted by admin on Feb 25, 2025

U&Drama detective series The Marlow Murder Club, which comes from Death in Paradise creator Robert Thorogood, is almost back on our screens, and we now know exactly when the second season will start airing.

The first episode of season 2, which reunites key cast members Samantha Bond, Jo Martin, Cara Horgan and Natalie Dew, will air at 8pm on Wednesday 19th March and U&Drama. The full season will also be available to stream on U from that date.

While the first season of the show was made up of two 90-minute episodes, this new season will be formed of six hour-long episodes, with the run being split into three two-parters.

The first two-parter will adapt Thorogood’s second book in The Marlow Murder Club series, Death Comes to Marlow, while the other episodes will tell brand new stories, written by new writers Lucia Haynes and Julia Gilbert.

Guest stars set to feature across the new episodes include Nina Sosanya, Samantha Womack, Hugh Quarshie, Patrick Robinson, James Wilby, Tom Stourton, Caroline Langrishe, Elizabeth Bennett, Camilla Beeput and James Gaddas.

Late last year, Horgan said that she and the rest of the team behind the programme have “got hopes for future seasons” beyond season 2, adding that “[we’re] hoping that these stories can continue” and that they are “delighted that the audiences are liking it”.

The Marlow Murder Club season 2 will air on U&Drama and U from Wednesday 19th March at 8pm, while season 1 is available on U now.

The Marlow Murder Club welcomes star-studded line-up of guest stars for second series on U and U&DRAMA
Posted by admin on Oct 27, 2024

Nina Sosanya, Samantha Womack, Hugh Quarshie, Patrick Robinson and many more join the cast for series two of The Marlow Murder Club in first look

 

Further cast are now confirmed for series two of The Marlow Murder Club(6×60’) for U and U&DRAMA. The series is a co-commission with co-producer and US broadcaster MASTERPIECE and produced by Monumental Television in association with ITV Studios.

Written by Robert Thorogood, Lucia Haynes and Julia Gilbert, the six-part series features three murder mysteries spanning across two-episode instalments. Alongside leads Samantha Bond (Judith Potts), Jo Martin (Suzie Harris), Cara Horgan (Becks Starling) and Natalie Dew (DCI Tanika Malik), 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.

Life in the idyllic town of Marlow has just about returned to normal after the chain of murders that troubled the community. But it’s not long before retired archaeologist Judith Potts, dog-walker, Suzie Harris and Vicar’s wife, Becks Starling are called back into action to solve a series of new crimes that befall the local residents.

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. Navigating the delicate balance of Marlow society – from local aristocracy to the workers at the local boatyard, the pubs and cafes of the high street to a newly established archaeological dig – Judith, Becks and Suzie dig into all corners of Marlow life as they assist DCI Tanika Malik in her official investigations.
