Product Information

Elsewhere in the series a famous organist is murdered mid-tune in the chapel, Great Slaughter’s first sci-fi convention results in a mysterious kidnapping and a ‘dead cert’ at the screen tests for the new ‘Agent Best’ ends up, well… dead. To top it all, Felix has a challenge of his own when his fiancée Victoria arrives from Bermuda with an ultimatum which could change everything… Filming has started today on the third series of the hugely popular BBC Studios Continuing Drama production, Sister Boniface Mysteries. Series three is a co-production for Britbox International and UKTV’s Drama channel and will include a feature length Christmas special written by series creator Jude Tindall and directed by Ian Barber. Mark Williams says: “It’s an honour to be returning to Father Brown for an eleventh series of warmth, drama and humour, as well as sleuthing with my partners in crime solving. It’s also always a treat to film in the beautiful Cotswolds.”

Alongside Lorna Watson, the show stars Max Brown ( Downton Abbey), Jerry Iwu ( Sex Education), Miranda Raison ( MI-5), and Ami Metcalf ( Upstairs Downstairs). Jerry Iwu says: "It’s charming and endearing. I like shows like this that create a sense of community, because I come from a community like that in Ireland." UKTV is part of BBC Studios, the UK's most-awarded production company, a world-class distributor with international branded services, and a commercial subsidiary of the world's leading public service broadcaster, the BBC.

Frasier season 1 episode 8 review | Drunk on intellectualism

The swift renewal was a bit of a surprise; the show hasn't even arrived in the U.K. yet. (The release date for BritBox UK is March 11.) But though the British public hasn't weighed in yet, Trotter told the assembled reporters that "cozy crime," as he termed it, has an appeal that cannot be denied, from Agatha Christie to Dorothy L. Sayers. "Spinning off to Sister Boniface from Father Brown, moving to the 1960s, we give a whole new flavor yet have the same kind of sensibility, which is warm at heart but still has a gripping crime that's full of 12 wonderful characters." We’re not yet sure if Father Brown himself, actor Mark Williams, will make a guest appearance again.

Executive producer Will Trotter previously commented: “We are absolutely thrilled to see Sister Boniface return for a second series. Jude Tindall and the team of writers have created unforgettable characters full of wit and mischief. The year is now 1955 and Chief Inspector Sullivan and Mrs Devine seem to be getting rather close, much to the interest of Father Brown and Brenda! It’s an honour to be returning to Father Brown for an eleventh series of warmth, drama and humour, as well as sleuthing with my partners in crime solving." — Mark Williams, Father Brown

Timothy Olyphant joins the cast of Noah Hawley’s Alien TV series

Season 1 debuted on BritBox on Tuesday, Feb. 8. The next day, and the Television Critics Association press tour panel, producer Will Trotter told the assembled reporters that Season 2 was officially greenlit. In a statement, Trotter said, "We are absolutely thrilled to see Sister Boniface return for a second series. Jude Tindall and the team of writers have created unforgettable characters full of wit and mischief. Lorna's performance is as forensic as her character — the sharp intelligence, charm, and warmth she brings to the role is an irresistible combination. The entire cast and crew have been a joy to work with, and I think that shines through in this big-hearted and hugely original show."
