Bertie Carvel is back on the box as Dalgliesh in the hugely popular TV series – based on renowned author P.D. James’ detective novels.
Following its recent highly anticipated return to Channel 5, following its critically-acclaimed first series that attracted an audience of more than four million, Dalgliesh Series 2 is set to arrive on DVD and digital alongside Dalgliesh Series 1 & 2 DVD Box Set on 15 May 2023, providing plenty of gripping, complex cases.
Dedicated to cracking crime and bringing killers to justice, cunning and intellectual detective Adam Dalgliesh (Carvel) follows in the footsteps of distinguished detectives such as Sherlock Holmes and Poirot.
Both series are adapted from three books, tracing the sleuth’s expansive crime-fighting career and each case offers its own unique setting and a stellar cast of guests, including Jeremy Irvine (War
Horse), Natasha Little (War of the Worlds), Mirren Mack (Sex Education), David Bamber (Flesh and Blood), Anastasia Hille (Baptiste), Carolina Main (Blood) and Stuart Graham (Harry Wild).
Dalgliesh Series 2 sees the enigmatic investigator and poet tackle even more mind-boggling mysteries in the grubby heart of 1970s England, including the murder of a young girl, which leads to a forensic biologist being found dead in his lab, the suspicious murder of an illustrious but controversial defence barrister and the case of a young doctor being set alight on museum grounds where it seems everyone has something to gain from the crime…
Each thrilling new case is split across two episodes and sees David Pearse (The Banshees of Inisherin) reprise his role as forensic pathologist Miles Kynaston, while Carlyss Peer (Grantchester) returns as Dalgliesh’s noble assistant, DS Kate Miskin.
In the first series, we meet the unflappable and scrupulous Dalgliesh as he solves strange mysteries, including a student nurse poisoned during training, a homeless man and a retired Tory politician found dead with their throats slashed in a London church and a very suspicious death at a mysterious disability care home.
A special feature on the release includes The Making of Dalgliesh.
