Bergerac Renewed at UKTV

The reimagined series of Bergerac with Damien Molony is set for a second season on UKTV’s U and U&DRAMA in 2026.

“I am so delighted we’re returning to Jersey for a second series of Bergerac,” said Helen Perry, head of drama commissioning. “Toby Whithouse and Blacklight TV have done a remarkable job, taking a much-loved classic and reinventing it for today’s audience. Damien is mesmerizing as Jim and is matched by Zoë [Wanamaker] and Robert [Gilbert] brilliantly. Viewers loved the first series, so we’re thrilled to be taking them back to the beautiful island of Jersey for another thrilling investigation that’s even more twisty than the first.”

Produced by BlackLight TV in collaboration with Jersey-based Westward Studios and with support from Visit Jersey, the six-part series reimagines the original show created by Robert Banks Stewart that ran on the BBC between 1981 and 1991. Season one of the reboot launched in February and is U&DRAMA’s second-highest-rated show. Season two will be penned by Toby Whithouse, Ashley Sanders, Emilie Robson and Faebian Averies.
