Fiona Shaw to Play Major Role in 'Baptiste' Season 2

When mystery series Baptiste returns for Season 2, there will have been more than a few changes to the show, both in terms of its story and its principal cast.

The six-part second season will see detective Julien Baptiste delve into Budapest’s secretive corrupt underworld in an attempt to find a British Ambassador’s family, who disappeared on a skiing holiday in the Hungarian mountains. Killing Eve star Fiona Shaw joins the cast as Ambassador Emma Chambers, who is desperate to find her husband and two sons, and is subsequently thrust into the middle of what may be the detective's most complex case to date.

In it, Julien must not only attempt to find Emma's missing family but simultaneously navigate a Hungarian police force he doesn’t trust and deal with unrelenting interest from a media who are hungry for information on such a high-profile international case.
