Jo Martin's murder mystery show The Marlow Murder Club has been renewed for a second season.
The six-part series debuted on Drama and UKTV in March, following Martin’s character Suzie as she teamed up with retired archaeologist Judith (James Bond's Samantha Bond) and the vicar's wife Becks (The Sandman's Cara Horgan) to solve a murder in their quiet community of Marlow.
It's now been confirmed that the trio will all return for some more sleuthing in a second season of the show, which begins filming this summer.

While season one was adapted from the first novel in Robert Thorogood's bestselling book series, the first two episodes of season two will be adapted from his second novel, Death Comes to Marlow. The remaining episodes will be brand-new, standalone stories.
The new season will follow Suzie, Judith and Becks as they investigate three new murders, including a "seemingly impossible murder" inside the locked study of a mansion, the murder of a man in the "middle of a sleepy cul-de-sac", and a "brutal accident at the prestigious Marlow sailing club".
The synopsis continues: "Navigating the delicate balance of Marlow society – from local aristocracy to the workers at the local boatyard, the pubs and cafes of the high street to a newly established archaeological dig – Judith, Becks and Suzie dig into all corners of Marlow life as they assist DCI Tanika Malik (Natalie Dew) in her official investigations."

Thorogood, Lucia Haynes and Julia Gilbert will each write one of the murder mysteries, which will each span two episodes.
"Monumental Television and Robert Thorogood's female-led mystery thriller The Marlow Murder Club proved to be such a smash hit with viewers that we just had to bring it back for a second season," said Helen Perry, UKTV's head of drama.
"We're delighted to be re-joining Judith Potts and the gang for more fun and puzzle-solving drama, and we know our viewers will love it too."
The Marlow Murder Club will airs on Drama and UKTV Play.
