Jim Bergerac is coming back for a new six-part investigation.

Bergerac was a hit for U&DRAMA earlier this year, reimagining the 80s Jersey-based detective series for a modern audience.

The updated version, starring Damien Molony, followed Jim Bergerac through one murder investigation across six episodes. At the same time, he was returning to work after the death of his wife, managing his alcoholism and family responsibilities.

Unsurprisingly, the channel has commissioned a second series from producers Blacklight TV to air in 2026.

Here’s what we know about Bergerac series 2:

The second series will see Jim Bergerac starting to put his life back together, while his mother-in-law Charlie Hungerford has a new man in her life. Jim’s even tentatively dating, with his daughter’s encouragement, although it’s a big step for him. But then he meets Nicola, a visitor to Jersey, and they connect. Could this be the start of something for Jim?

However, before the relationship even has time to blossom, Jim is pulled back into his next big case. When the groom at a wedding reception on the island is found murdered in his hotel room, the wedding party comes under intense suspicion and scrutiny. Jim will have to decipher the victim’s cryptic last words from his speech if he is ever going to bring the killer to justice. And when Jim starts to unravel old secrets, more skeletons come to light, making this his most intricate case yet.

Joining Damien Molony, Zoë Wanamaker returns as Charlie Hungerford, with Robert Gilbert as Barney Crozier. The rest of the cast will be confirmed in due course.

The second series will be written by Toby Whithouse, alongside Ashley Sanders, Emilie Robson and Faebian Averies.

Damien Molony said:

“I’m so excited to be returning for a second series and to be heading back to the beautiful island of Jersey. Bringing this iconic role back has been an incredible experience. My predecessor had solved six crimes in the time it’s taken for me to solve one, so I have a bit of catching up to do. I can’t wait to explore the character of Jim Bergerac further and see what case we crack next.”

Bergerac is available to stream for free on U. The streamer also has the entire run of the classic series, starring John Nettles.
