‘McDonald & Dodds’ Season 4 Begins Filming For ITV
Filming has begun on the 4th Season of the popular Bath-based detective drama ‘McDonald & Dodds‘, starring Tala Gouveia and BAFTA award-winner Jason Watkins, for ITV.
Comprising three feature-length films, the guest cast for the first story includes Toby Stephens (Lost In Space), singer/songwriter Pixie Lott (The Voice Kids), Lydia Leonard (Gentleman Jack), Daniel Lapaine (Catastrophe), Dipo Ola (Landscapers), John Gordon Sinclair (Gregory’s Girl) and Ace Bhatti (Line of Duty).
In this first film, McDonald and Dodds begin to investigate when a middle-aged woman is found shot dead in a rented flat. The killer has removed all clues to her identity, but DNA reveals she went missing over 35 years ago. Where has she been all those years? And who with?
Returning to the cast this series are Claire Skinner (Outnumbered) who plays Chief Superintendent Ormond and Charlie Chambers (EastEnders) who plays DC Goldie. Bhavik C. Pankhania (World On Fire) joins the lineup as DC Lee.
The series has been commissioned for ITV by Polly Hill and Huw Kennair Jones and will be produced by Joe Shrubb. Executive producers are Robert Murphy, Damien Timmer and Charlotte Webber. The first film is written by Robert Murphy and directed by Khurrum M. Sultan.
“We’re thrilled to be returning to the beautiful city of Bath for more original and inventive crimes for McDonald and Dodds to solve,” said Huw Kennair Jones. “And it’s great to be working with Mammoth Screen, Robert Murphy and Tala and Jason once again on what promises to be another brilliant series.”
‘McDonald & Dodds’ is produced by independent production company Mammoth Screen and created by Robert Murphy. The previous three series are available via streaming platforms ITVX in the UK and Britbox in North America and Australia. ITV Studios will distribute the drama internationally.
‘McDonald & Dodds‘ Season 4 does not yet have a premiere date but will air on ITV1 and ITVX. If you want to keep track of this, or any other show, you can add them via our Never Miss system, and you’ll be notified when it gets a UK premiere date.
