Will there be a Bergerac season 2 starring Damien Molony?

Bergerac burst back on to our screens last year, in a reboot of the classic John Nettles crime drama that came to an end more than 30 years ago.

The new show proved immediately popular with viewers on U&Drama, meaning they will no doubt be relieved to hear that they won't have to wait another 30 years for more Bergerac.

Instead, a new season of the Jersey-based reboot, starring Damien Molony, will be airing this year, with stars such as Zoë Wanamaker and Robert Gilbert also returning.

Meanwhile, a host of new additions to the cast have already been confirmed, and some first-look images released. But when will the new season be available to watch?

Read on for everything you need to know about Bergerac season 2.

Will there be a Bergerac season 2?

There will! The series was officially renewed in April 2025, just two months after the first season debuted.

When the renewal was first announced, Molony said in a statement that he was "so excited" to be "heading back to the beautiful island of Jersey".

He continued: "Bringing this iconic role back has been an incredible experience. My predecessor had solved six crimes in the time it’s taken for me to solve one, so I have a bit of catching up to do. I can’t wait to explore the character of Jim Bergerac further and see what case we crack next."

Meanwhile, UKTV's head of drama commissioning, Helen Perry, said: "I am so delighted we’re retuning to Jersey for a second series of Bergerac. Toby Whithouse and Blacklight TV have done a remarkable job, taking a much-loved classic and reinventing it for today’s audience.
"Damien is mesmerising as Jim, and is matched by Zoë and Robert brilliantly. 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."

When will Bergerac season 2 be released?

We don't yet know the exact date that Bergerac will be back on our screens for season 2, but we do know that it will be some time in Spring 2026.

This means that the new run will be arriving just over a year after the reboot first debuted, which was in February 2025.

Who is returning to star in Bergerac season 2?

When Bergerac returns, Damien Molony will of course be back in the title role, while key supporting cast members Zoë Wanamaker, Chloé Sweetlove and Robert Gilbert will also be back.

This time around, they will be joined by new additions Adrian Edmondson, Lesley Sharp, Turlough Convery and Camilla Beeput as Nicola.

Edmondson will be playing Nigel, a charming new presence in Charlie’s life, whileSharp will be playing Monica, mother to Convery's Michael and Beeput's Nicola.

It has been teased that a romance could be on the cards between Jim and Nicola - but we'll have to wait and see how that plays out.
