DEATH IN BENIDORM: CHANNEL 5 ANNOUNCES NEW DETECTIVE DRAMA

5 have announced new drama, a co-production from Blackbox Multimedia and Clapperboard, Death In Benidorm w/t (6x60’).

Former detective Dennis Crown has swapped the chaos of the UK for a quieter life running a bar in Benidorm. But when tourists start turning up dead, he’s reluctantly drawn back into detective work—egged on by his barmaid Rosa, a crime drama superfan.

With Dennis’s real-world experience and Rosa’s encyclopaedic TV knowledge, each episode sees the duo tackling a new murder in paradise, whilst trying to remain on the right side of the local Spanish cops.

The series was greenlit by Greg Barnett, Commissioning Editor, 5 with ZDF Studios on board as international distributor for the title.

More details will be announced in due course.
