New Tricks will return to BBC One next month for the long-running crime drama’s last ever ten episodes.

Season 12 begins at 9pm on Tuesday 4 August, opening with “an explosive two part story” that will see Dennis Waterman’s character, Gerry Standing, depart the show.

New regular cast member Larry Lamb (EastEnders) will make his debut in Episode 2 as ex-copper Ted Case, alongside returning regulars Tamzin Outhwaite, Denis Lawson and Nicholas Lyndhurst.

The new season’s storylines will see Gerry become embroiled in a scandal that forces him to confront some skeletons in his closet, while Danny and Fiona take their relationship up a notch, Steve worries about his bank balance and everyone must pull together when Sasha is dealt a devastating blow.

The BBC announced in February that New Tricks will end this year after 12 seasons.
