The Marlow Murder Club will return for a fourth series on U

The six-part (6×60′) U&Original drama is co-produced by US broadcaster MASTERPIECE and Monumental Television in association with ITV Studios, with pre-investment from UKTV.

What we know about the next series of The Marlow Murder Club

From the press release, we learn the show should be back in 2027. Series 3 aired in March, so a swift renewal and we suspect a similar release window next year. The new series will feature an adaptation of Robert Thorogood’s novel Murder on the Marlow Belle, alongside brand-new original mysteries.

Returning to solve more complex and intriguing murders in Marlow are meticulous crossword-setter Judith Potts (Samantha Bond), pillar of the community and vicar’s wife Becks Starling (Cara Horgan), and no-nonsense dog walker Suzie Harris (Jo Martin). Working tirelessly alongside DI Tanika Malik (Natalie Dew) and her police team, our crime-solving trio put their unconventional methods into practice to catch the killers in three brand new stories.

The series begins with the discovery of a body in the river that is soon linked to the Marlow Amateur Dramatics Society and a homegrown Hollywood star. The team must also unravel the truth behind a man’s sudden death at his mother’s wake. He appears to have died from an allergic reaction, but is there more to it than that? And when the co-owner of a vineyard is found dead, drowned in his own wine, the women work to make sense of this seemingly unmotivated murder. Can our amateur sleuths navigate the family scandals and personal betrayals to unmask the killers in their close-knit community. 

Series regulars Holli Dempsey, Phill Langhorne and Tijan Sarr also return for the new series with filming about to begin in Marlow and the surrounding area. We’ll bring updates as we see them.
