THE MARLOW MURDER CLUB SET TO RETURN FOR SECOND SERIES ON UKTV

The Marlow Murder Club is set to return for a second series comprising of three episodes, TV Zone understands. The commission has not been announced by UKTV.

The first series, available to stream now on UKTV Play, sees retired archaeologist Judith Potts (Samantha Bond), who lives alone in a faded mansion in the peaceful town of Marlow, filling her time setting crosswords for the local paper.

During one of her regular evening swims in the river, Judith hears a gunshot coming from her neighbours’ garden, and believes a brutal murder has taken place.

When the local police are reluctant to believe her story, Judith finds herself forming an unexpected friendship with local dog-walker and empty-nester Suzie (Jo Martin) and unfulfilled vicar’s wife Becks (Cara Horgan) as they team up to start an investigation of their own.

After uncovering a vital piece of evidence, the trio are brought in as civilian advisors to assist the official police investigation, led by newly promoted DS Tanika Malik (Natalie Dew), who is under pressure to prove herself to her superiors.

As the bodies begin to pile up, the unlikely group of sleuths must use all of their skills to piece together clues, grill suspects, and face down real dangers as they race against the clock to stop the killer in their tracks.

The Marlow Murder Club is available to stream now on UKTV Play. Details on a second series will be announced in due course.
