The BBC has announced the return of the popular detective series Ludwig, with a second season set to premiere on BBC iPlayer and BBC One this summer. The show follows master puzzle-setter and Crime Scene Consultant John 'Ludwig' Taylor as he solves crimes for the Cambridge Police Authority.
The BBC has revealed exciting news about a detective series that fans have branded "better than Vera". The BBC announced the comeback of Ludwig , widely celebrated as a "masterpiece", in an official statement: "The UK's most-watched new comedy title since 2018 returns for a second series on BBC iPlayer and BBC One this summer and will pick up with master puzzle-setter and Crime Scene Consultant John ' Ludwig ' Taylor solving 'impossible' crimes for the Cambridge Police Authority.
"Anna Maxwell Martin returns as Lucy, John's sister-in-law and wife of his missing brother James - another puzzle that needs solving and a husband and father that needs to be brought home. " Crime drama enthusiasts were absolutely delighted by the announcement, flocking to social media to express their excitement, with one Instagram user writing, "The best news". "I AM SO READY," another enthused, while a third chipped in, "Oh so so so SO good," reports the Express.
Yet another beamed, "Woot! If I could quit my job today and become a puzzle consultant, I absolutely would.
" Since the debut series landed, viewers have been vocal online, drawing comparisons with other popular detective dramas. Many have boldly claimed it surpasses the likes of Vera, Midsomer Murders, and Death in Paradise. On Reddit, one devoted fan wrote, "Hello. Just want to say I really enjoyed this TV show im a big fan of David Mitchell, although I'm not sure we'd agree politically on everything, but this show was great.
"Sure, it's a little contrived, but it's fun and so much better than Midsomer Murders. Loved the music too, really hope they do a second series.
" On a separate Reddit thread, one enthusiast drew comparisons between the programme and Death in Paradise alongside Professor T. They commented: "The revealing of the murderer is the same as Death in Paradise and its spin-offs. I was so confused about how DCI Taylor cracked the case with its complex method. It is so intriguing with the whole puzzle-style of crime solving. The background case involving his twin brother's disappearance is a mystery as well.
The whole series is like a combination of Professor T and Numbers .
" Another remarked: "I got the vibe that the lead detective is similar to Professor T, Richard Poole in DIP, and DI Mackenzie Clarke in Return to Paradise. " While a third contributed: "I think it is actually better than Death in Paradise. " Someone else continued, "Similar to Vera? " to which another responded, "Better!
" Series one of Ludwig is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
