The Last Detectives reveals first look at gripping new crime drama set on the Welsh coast

Set against the backdrop of the Pembrokeshire coastline, the pictures offer a glimpse into the investigations and mysteries that await in this upcoming BBC series

What is The Last Detectives

The show is described as a crime series brimming with wit, humour and grounded in character, focussing on two detectives finding a new beginning after they are thrust together by circumstance. Maybe nothing unusual, but there’s more.

Formerly known as Old Town Murders, it stars Mark Lewis Jones, Steffan Rhodri, Bethan-Mary James, Jordan Davies, Julie Graham and Catherine Ayers. The series is written, created and executive produced by Matthew Barry (Men Up, The Guest) and produced by Quay Street Productions for BBC iPlayer and BBC One in a co-commission with BBC Cymru Wales.

The newly released pictures introduce the team at the heart of the series as they investigate a succession of murder cases set against the striking backdrop of Tenby. Leading the charge are DI Glyn Walsh (Mark Lewis Jones) and DS Sion Dearden (Steffan Rhodri), investigative partners whose instinctive understanding of one another proves invaluable as they navigate complex cases, unexpected twists and long-buried secrets lurking beneath the town’s picturesque surface. The detectives are joined by DC Remy Jones (Bethan Mary-James), DC Neil Miller (Jordan Davies) and forensic biologist Pamela Thomas (Julie Graham).

With each case spanning across two episodes, the drama explores themes of new beginnings and second chances as the team confront fresh challenges, personal crossroads and truths that refuse to stay buried. The show is 6×60′ no word on when we might see it.
