Overview
- The new series premieres at 9pm on Wednesday, November 5 on BBC One, with all six episodes available on BBC iPlayer.
- DI Ruth Calder and DS Alison 'Tosh' McIntosh investigate the murder of retired social worker Eadie Tulloch in the remote hamlet of Lunniswick, with a personal link testing team loyalties.
- Alison O'Donnell and Ashley Jensen preview a role reversal this season, with a harder-edged 'Dark Tosh' and a more openly empathetic Calder.
- Samuel Anderson joins the regular cast as Procurator Fiscal Matt Blake, with returning series players Steven Robertson and Lewis Howden and guest stars including Clive Russell, Ellie Haddington, Louise Brealey, Greg McHugh and Stuart Townsend.
- Filming used the real village of Levenwick to portray Lunniswick, and Ashley Jensen says a fisherman selling his boat mid-shoot forced the production to improvise with another vessel; international release is expected but unannounced, with reports pointing to BritBox at a later date.
