Professor T, starring Ben Miller, renewed for season 4
The detective series has been renewed before season 3 has even aired.
Before its third season has even aired, it has been announced that the Ben Miller-starring crime drama Professor T will be returning for a fourth outing.
The news was first reported by Variety, who confirmed that Miller, Frances de la Tour, Juliet Stevenson and Barney White will all be returning to the cast, along with Sunetra Sarker, who is expected to debut in season 3 as DI Maiya Goswami.
The new six-part season will once again be set predominantly at Cambridge University, and will take place six months after what is described as a "shocking" finale to season 3, with a dangerous crime wave taking place.
Variety also reports that Professor T will be taking on "a new musical pursuit", that romance is in the air for his mother Adelaide, and that the lines between professional and personal become blurred for therapist Helena.
Ben Miller said of the news: "There’s nothing out there quite like Professor T, with its unique mix of complex crimes and captivating characters, all set against the beautiful backdrop of Cambridge; the central enigma being the Professor himself… a mystery I hope to investigate for many seasons to come!"
