'Dalgliesh' Season 2 Will Arrive on Acorn TV This April
Acorn TV's period-set mystery series Dalgliesh will officially return for a second season this spring. The news that Season 2 will arrive in April was released during a flurry of announcements from AMC's panels at the winter edition of the Television Critics Association press tour in Los Angeles. No hard premiere date has yet been set, but April is likely much sooner than many viewers expected to see the show again.
The concept of the series is likely to be at least somewhat familiar to Anglophile audiences, whether from the series of novels by P.D. James that originally began publishing in 1962 and continued for over four decades afterward or from the multiple and varied small-screen adaptations they've spawned in the years since their publication.
Its latest incarnation, titled simply Dalgliesh, stars Bertie Carvel (Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norell) as the enigmatic chief investigator Adam Dalgliesh, a man who is intensely private but equally sure of himself, both controlling and deeply empathetic. In the pantheon of great British literary detectives, Dalgliesh is often remembered for the fact that he also happens to be a critically lauded poet in addition to a talented crime solver.
