David Mitchell has promised an "intriguing narrative" for season 2 of his hit murder mystery series Ludwig.
The show follows the titular puzzle maker who pretends to be his police detective brother in order to solve his disappearance.
Ludwig debuted last year and became the BBC's biggest scripted show in two years as well as the biggest comedy launch in six years, and was quickly renewed for a second run in October.

While story details on season 2 are under wraps, Mitchell has hinted at a little of what fans can expect from the new episodes in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
"I can’t tease anything," he said. "The scripts are being written now, and it wouldn’t help any viewers to know any more about it than that. We will be shooting this year.

"Our hope and aim is to give more of the same: the ongoing, intriguing narrative and the same weekly, resolved mystery," Mitchell added. "Other than that, I don’t really know much more, but I’m also under instructions not to say any more!

"I’m big on going into a program knowing only the bare minimum because surprise is a huge part of entertainment."
Alongside Mitchell as John 'Ludwig' Taylor and his brother DCI James Taylor, the series stars Motherland's Anna Maxwell Martin as Lucy Betts-Taylor, Landscapers' Dipo Ola as DI Russell Carter and Big Boys' Izuka Hoyle as DS Alice Finch.
Speaking last year upon the renewal news, Mitchell said: "I’m delighted that John 'Ludwig' Taylor has failed to escape the clutches of the Cambridge police and will have to continue to face up to the city’s alarming conundrum-based crime wave."
Ludwig is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
