Father Brown, the popular BBC One daytime crime drama, has been renewed for an 11th season. The show follows the adventures of a sleuthing priest and his friends in the 1950s Cotswolds. Here is everything we know so far about the upcoming season, including the potential plot, cast, release date, and similar shows.
Father Brown Season 11 Potential Plot: What’s next?
The new season will begin in 1955, with Father Brown (Mark Williams) and Brenda (Ruby-May Martinwood) noticing that Chief Inspector Sullivan (Tom Chambers) and Mrs Devine (Claudie Blakley) have grown closer since we last saw them. Will there be romance in the air for the unlikely pair?
The season will also feature 10 new mysteries for Father Brown and his colleagues to solve, ranging from a food fayre to a crime writing festival to a village rivalry. Brenda will also have to face the ghosts of her past when an old friend contacts her. And of course, Father Brown’s nemesis Flambeau (John Light) will return with a dangerous mission and a surprise guest.
