The BBC has reportedly greenlit a second series of its popular murder mystery comedy-drama, Death Valley. This delightful concoction of crime-solving and comedy stars Timothy Spall and Gwyneth Keyworth as an unlikely detective duo.
According to TV Zone, filming for the next series is set to kick off in Wales in September. The show, written and created by Paul Doolan, follows the eccentric John Chapel, a retired actor-turned-detective, and Janie Mallowan, a Welsh detective sergeant, as they unravel mysteries in their unique style.
The series swiftly garnered a fan base, with its debut episode drawing 2.9 million viewers, marking it as the most-watched new scripted BBC comedy in over six years. Not only did it charm the domestic audience, but it also captivated viewers across various channels, trailing just behind Kate & Koji in audience size.
