Further cast are now confirmed for series two of The Marlow Murder Club (6x60') for U and U&DRAMA. The series is a co-commission with co-producer and US broadcaster MASTERPIECE and produced by Monumental Television in association with ITV Studios.

Written by Robert Thorogood, Lucia Haynes and Julia Gilbert, the six-part series features three murder mysteries spanning across two-episode instalments. Alongside leads Samantha Bond (Judith Potts), Jo Martin (Suzie Harris), Cara Horgan (Becks Starling) and Natalie Dew (DCI Tanika Malik), guest stars include Tom Stourton (Stath Lets Flats, A Small Light), Caroline Langrishe (Lovejoy, Agatha Raisin) and James Wilby (The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, Poldark) as Tristram Bailey, Lady Bailey and Sir Peter Bailey in episodes one and two.

Nina Sosanya (Baby Reindeer, Screw) and Andrew Knott (Maryland, Ackley Bridge), star as Grace and Dean in episodes three and four, alongside Patrick Robinson (Sitting in Limbo, Shetland) and Samantha Womack (Eastenders, Kingsman: The Secret Service) as Phil and Caroline Wingrove. Plus, Hugh Quarshie (Holby City, Stephen) as Professor Gifford, Elizabeth Bennett (Doctors, Father Brown) as Ursula, Camilla Beeput (Hijack, The Suspect) as Jackie, and James Gaddas (Hollyoaks, Doctors) as Harry in episodes five and six.

Life in the idyllic town of Marlow has just about returned to normal after the chain of murders that troubled the community. But it's not long before retired archaeologist Judith Potts, dog-walker, Suzie Harris and Vicar's wife, Becks Starling are called back into action to solve a series of new crimes that befall the local residents.

From a seemingly impossible murder inside the locked study of a sweeping mansion, to the mysterious case of a man murdered in the middle of a sleepy cul-de-sac with no connection to the town, and an unexpectedly brutal accident at the prestigious Marlow sailing club that quickly reveals itself to be something more sinister, there's no rest for our sleuthing trio. 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 in her official investigations.

The U&Original series has been commissioned by Helen Perry, head of drama for UKTV, and ordered for U&DRAMA by Emma Ayech, channel director, and Hilary Rosen, director of commissioning. Executive producers for Monumental Television are Debra Hayward, Alison Owen and Alison Carpenter. Susanne Simpson is executive producer for MASTERPIECE. The series will be directed by Steve Barron and Katherine Churcher and produced by Serena Cullen. Steve Barron and writer Robert Thorogood also serve as executive producers. ITV Studios handles international distribution.

The Marlow Murder Club S2 will air on U and U&DRAMA in 2025.
