The reimagined series of Bergerac <\/em>with Damien Molony is set for a second season on UKTV’s U and U&DRAMA in 2026.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am so delighted we\u2019re returning to Jersey for a second series of Bergerac<\/em>,\u201d said Helen Perry, head of drama commissioning. \u201cToby Whithouse and Blacklight TV have done a remarkable job, taking a much-loved classic and reinventing it for today\u2019s audience. Damien is mesmerizing as Jim and is matched by Zo\u00eb [Wanamaker] and Robert [Gilbert] brilliantly. Viewers loved the first series, so we\u2019re thrilled to be taking them back to the beautiful island of Jersey for another thrilling investigation that\u2019s even more twisty than the first.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
