'Marlow Murder Club' Sets Season 1 Premiere & Announces Season 2
After a surprising delay in The Marlow Murder Club's first season airing in the U.K. and PBS cropped up (considering Masterpiece is a co-producer on the series), viewers were uncertain if the well-hyped mystery series based on the Robert Thorogood best-selling novels starring Samantha Bond (Downton Abbey) and Jo Martin (Doctor Who) was long for television. However, that was not the case, as rumors have been swirling on British entertainment sites that Season 2 was heading into pre-production. Those rumors were made official by UKTV on May 21, 2024, with an official announcement that Season 2 had received its commission.
The announcement came a few weeks after the series concluded overseas but with no sign of Season 1's arrival on PBS. Masterpiece quickly fixed that, dropping its trailer for the first season a few hours later and a premiere date. As previously indicated, The Marlow Murder Club Season 1 is coming in the fall, but surprisingly late for PBS, arriving just ahead of Halloween, on the Sunday night before. It's the most timely premiere of a mystery series in quite a while for Masterpiece, and one mystery lovers will undoubtedly be looking forward to.
Though fans are probably a little disappointed at learning they will have to wait until October to see the new series over here, that just means there will be a shorter wait for Season 2. With filming for the second season getting underway, the debut date for it is likely late 2025 or early 2026, so Season 1 premiering in late 2024 on PBS means fans will only have a year or so to wait between seasons.
