Actress Dawn French, best known to British comedy fans for her starring role in The Vicar of Dibley, will return to PBS stations this fall in a heartwarming new comedy-drama known as The Trouble with Maggie Cole.

The series will premiere on Sunday nights Fall, beginning October 18, and will explore what happens when idle gossip escalates out of control and starts to affect people’s lives.

Set in a village that looks decidedly similar to Doc Martin's picturesque Portwenn, The Trouble with Maggie Cole follows the story of the titular Maggie Cole, the self-appointed oracle and "local historian" of the close-knit community of Thurlbury.
