About this deal

Griffiths, Rosalind (22 November 2012). "Cleeves' new BBC drama gets premiere screening at Mareel". The Shetland Times . Retrieved 1 July 2014.

In 10 years of filming inShetlandI've never seen it so lovely. The sun was out and it was warm and the beaches there are so beautiful...also there's a softplay now! So, life is complete. Filming began in April 2015 for a third series, which began screening in January 2016. [10] This series saw a change in format; with all six episodes covering a single story, written exclusively for television. [11] This was the first series not to adapt any of Cleeves' novels. [10] Ciarán Hinds and Anna Chancellor were among the new cast members for this series. [12] A fourth series was announced by the BBC in July 2016. [13] Again, this series is a single story played out across six episodes and written exclusively for television. Stephen Walters and Neve McIntosh were among the new cast members announced for the series. It was broadcast on BBC One beginning on 13 February 2018. [14] Series 5 was broadcast on BBC1 from 12 February 2019. [15] I think if she took herself aside - and worked more as part of the team in the beginning - she’d achieve more. At the start, there might be a slight air of superiority about Calder with her taking the view that the Shetland team don’t work quite as well as her London team do. But she begins to realise that there are strengths in not jumping in with both feet at the same time. This is as much a personal story as a professional one for Calder. Matters are made worse when armed hitmen - the experienced Howell (Don Gilét) and volatile Nowak (Arnas Fedaravičius) - arrive on the Isles on a mission to silence Ellen.

The world of Shetland police HQ is as we knew it - warm, reassuring and familiar. But change is coming and with it, fresh challenges for the team.

Elenco Serie Tv 2018: calendario partenze" (in Italian). 11 December 2017 . Retrieved 12 December 2017. This new series is so fresh. The heart of the show remains - the team that we know and love - but everything is shaken up by the arrival of Calder and the crime that comes along with her. Calder brings out a different side in all of us, she draws us out of our cosy comfort zones and challenges us to dig deeper. Ashley Jensen is phenomenal in the role.Sweden: Swedish public broadcaster SVT started airing the 3rd series in January 2016 on their primary network SVT1. [47] This new series of Shetland has a stellar guest cast – what was it like working with the likes of Phyllis Logan, Dawn Steele and Lorraine McIntosh? Also starring are Alison O'Donnell as DS Alison "Tosh" McIntosh and Steven Robertson as DC Sandy Wilson. Lewis Howden and Anne Kidd are also principal members of the cast. A journalist dies in a suspicious car accident, and when it turns out he was an old friend of Pérez's, a forensic scientist is called in to ensure an objective view of the case. As the team awaits her results, they look into the reasons for the victim's return to the island and find he was chasing a lead about plans for a controversial new gas pipeline.

Sometimes, the more serious the job, the more you laugh. Life’s too short not to have a laugh. To me, that’s part of the joy of what we do. BBC One to Make Shetland Series 4 Soon". Premiere Date. 20 July 2016. Archived from the original on 28 February 2016 . Retrieved 2 April 2017. She’s formidable, she’s strong, she’s a woman in a man’s world. Ruth Calder’s built this little barricade around herself - she’s almost like an island herself. Jeffery, Morgan (3 April 2013). " 'Shetland' gets full six-part series on BBC One". Digital Spy . Retrieved 26 June 2013. There’s absolutely scope for them to get on and work together, they just need to get into each other’s groove. There will, of course, be moments of conflict which is always great because if everybody gets on all the time, it’s a wee bit boring.I feel that Shetland is as much a character as the drama itself. Shetland is one of those places that I never, ever thought I would go or get a chance to work there. It was such a privilege to be there and rendered me speechless when I stepped off that wee plane the first time. There were Shetland ponies and puffins – it’s got its own identity which is quite exhilarating actually. Shortly before series 7 premiered, Henshall announced that the series would be his last. [22] It was then announced that he would be replaced in the leading role by Ashley Jensen from Series 8 onwards. [23] Cast [ edit ] Main cast [ edit ] Douglas Henshall (Jimmy Perez) and Ann Cleeves (author) at Bloody Scotland International Crime Writing Festival, 2017 Current [ edit ] It’s clear from the off, Calder has no love for Tosh’s adopted home and their journey into the dark recesses of Shetland's past and present will test their partnership to the limit.

Tosh survives the blast but is reluctant to talk to anyone about what happened. The caravan's owner says he rented it to Connor. Pérez believes Connor killed Bryd and issues a warrant for his arrest. Visiting bomb expert DI Brookes thinks Connor had the knowledge to construct the bomb and might have links to a terrorist group. After talking with Danny, Pérez realizes that environmental activism was a theme of everything Connor did. Connor is found dead on the beach. At first it appears he threw himself from the cliff, but the autopsy finds he was tortured before being murdered the same way Bryd was. It appears like someone is trying to suggest that Connor killed Bryd and then himself. Abbie is suspicious of Martin and searches his room with help from her friend Clana, discovering a hidden camera card. Pérez and Tosh find the place – an abandoned church – where Connor and Bryd were held and killed. Sandy finds that Lloyd went to the same school as Rodgers under a different name. When Brookes gives Tosh a coat button that she'd lost in the explosion, she finally breaks down, calls Donnie and asks him to bring her home. She is a wonderful mix of an absolute hoot and a consummate professional. There were days when I laughed so hard my stomach hurt and I was in danger of crying all my make-up off. But we never, ever lost focus or took our eyes off the ball. Figuring out our chemistry together was an outright pleasure and I'm really proud of what we created together. I had an absolute blast working with Ashley. Her approach to the job was pitch perfect. She was really open and collaborative and sensitive to the fact that this is a long-running show but at the same time she brought confidence and self-assuredness, both in terms of how cast-iron her characterisation of Ruth Calder was, and in terms of how she took the reins off-set and brought everybody together. I think the pace of Shetland is an issue for Calder because it’s much slower than London and the urban policing she’s used to. Ruth’s a little bit of a lone wolf, she often dances to her own beat.Tosh is very comfortable in the role so she has definitely been doing it for some time and has really found her rhythm. She has an easy rapport with Sandy [Steven Robertson] and Billy [Lewis Howden] and the team seems to be functioning well and not dealing with anything too grizzly. She also has a great connection with Harry [Tibu Fortes], the new procurator fiscal, who really champions her. The stories take place largely on the eponymous archipelago, although some of the filming takes place on the Scottish mainland. [2] Most, but not all, exterior location filming takes place in Shetland; in 2021, filming of series 6 and 7 took place in Shetland in two segments, each of about six weeks’ duration. Interiors may be filmed in either Shetland or in west central Scotland. [3] When a young man disappears on a ferry crossing and a small boy ends up in intensive care after overdosing on Ecstasy, Pérez and the team become convinced the two events are connected. Pérez and the team are forced to re-open a 23-year-old cold case when convicted murderer, Thomas Malone, is released from prison. The case concerns teenager Lizzie Kilmuir, who was found strangled to death in a lime kiln on Unst Island. Upon returning to Shetland, Thomas tries to make amends with Lizzie's twin sister, Kate. Meanwhile, local journalist Sally McColl attends the Shetland Folk Festival with a group of her friends but doesn't return home later that evening. The next day, she is found strangled to death on a kiln, in what looks like a copy of Lizzie's murder. Pérez is forced to break the news to Drew, Sally's father, a former police officer who led the investigation into Lizzie's murder and now believes Thomas killed Sally. A group of men drags Thomas from his home and tries to bury him alive.
