Jersey’s most iconic detective is back… and this time, things are getting seriously complicated.
The modern reboot of the beloved 1980s crime drama Bergerac has returned for its highly anticipated Season 2, and it’s already delivering darker, twistier mysteries with stunning island backdrops.
Damien Molony reprises his role as the flawed but brilliant Jim Bergerac, a detective haunted by his past and battling personal demons while trying to solve complex crimes on the beautiful (but deadly) island of Jersey.
Season 2 kicks off with a high-stakes murder at a glamorous wedding — the kind of case that will push Bergerac to his limits. Expect romance in the air, family tensions boiling over, and plenty of secrets lurking beneath Jersey’s picturesque surface.
What to Expect in Season 2
- Returning favourites: Zoë Wanamaker as Charlie Hungerford (Bergerac’s sharp-tongued mother-in-law), Robert Gilbert, and Chloé Sweetlove
- New star power: Adrian Edmondson, Lesley Sharp, Turlough Convery and more joining the cast
- A darker, more intense tone with deeper exploration of Bergerac’s troubled history
- Stunning Jersey filming locations that make you want to book a ferry ticket immediately
The first episode of Season 2 aired on U&Drama (and U) on Thursday 16 April 2026 at 9pm, with new episodes dropping weekly every Thursday. All episodes are available to stream on demand via the U app.
Fans of the original series (starring John Nettles) and newcomers alike are loving the fresh take — mixing classic whodunnit vibes with modern character depth and emotional stakes.
From one six-part mystery in Season 1 to even bigger twists in Season 2 — Bergerac is proving why this reboot was worth the wait.
If you love atmospheric British crime dramas like Broadchurch, The Bay, or the original Bergerac, this is essential viewing.
