U&DRAMA Releases Trailer For ‘Bergerac’, Premiering In February 2025

by Dave Elliott

UKTV has released a trailer for Bergerac, the new version of the iconic drama which sees Damien Molony step into the title role in February 2025 on U&DRAMA and streaming service U.

Viewers first meet Jim Bergerac (Molony) as a broken man, battling his demons and on leave after the death of his wife. But when a member of one of Jersey’s wealthiest families is murdered, Chief of Police Uma Dalal (Sasha Behar) wants their best detective on the case. Bergerac returns to work to help him become the formidable detective he once was, whilst also trying to prove to his daughter Kim (Chloé Sweetlove) and mother-in-law Charlie Hungerford (Zoë Wanamaker) that his life is back on track.

The Wakefield’s, led by patriarch and businessman Arthur (Philip Glenister), are keeping their cards close to their chests, whilst a man from Bergerac’s past resurfaces to make a shocking accusation. Is Bergerac up to the job?

The six-part drama also stars Pippa Haywood as Margaret Heaton, Robert Gilbert as Barney Crozier, Aidan McArdle as Pete Benedict, Timothy Renouf as Julien Wakefield, Stephen Wight as John Blakely, Ayesha Antoine as Chloe Havron, and Celine Arden as Kara.

The series is written by Toby Whithouse (The Red King, Being Human), alongside Brian Fillis (Trust, Sirens), Catherine Tregenna (The One That Got Away, Three Pines), and Polly Buckle (Love Rat, A Discovery of Witches). It is directed by Colm McCarthy (The Bastard Son & the Devil Himself, Peaky Blinders) and Sean Spencer (The Lazarus Project, A Town Called Malice). Banijay Rights will handle international distribution for the series.

The modern take on ‘Bergerac’ honours the iconic drama created by Robert Banks Stewart, which starred John Nettles and ran for nine series on the BBC between 1981 and 1991. Unlike the original hit from the 80s, the new series sees one character-led murder mystery run across all six episodes, in place of a new storyline each episode.

Bergerac‘ does not yet have an exact premiere date but will air in February 2025 on U&DRAMA and streaming service U. If you want to keep track of this or any of the shows, you can add them via our Never Miss system, and you’ll be notified when the next season gets a UK premiere date.
