Per the synopsis, season two "will see Jim Bergerac starting to put his life back together, while his mother-in-law Charlie Hungerford (Wanamaker) has a new man in her life".
In the second series Jim is "tentatively dating" when he meets a visitor to Jersey named Nicola (Beeput) who he forms a connection with.
"However, before the relationship even has time to blossom, Jim is pulled back into his next big case," the synopsis continues.
"When the groom at a wedding reception on the island is found murdered in his hotel room, the wedding party comes under intense suspicion and scrutiny.
"Jim will have to decipher the victim’s cryptic last words from his speech if he is ever going to bring the killer to justice. And when Jim starts to unravel old secrets, more skeletons come to light, making this his most intricate case yet."
Speaking about season two earlier this year, Helen Perry, UKTV's Head of Drama, said lead writer Toby Whithouse has done a "remarkable job".
She added: "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."
Filming has wrapped on the highly anticipated second season of Bergerac, which will return to U and U&DRAMA in 2026.
Bergerac is available to stream for free on U.
