David Mitchell addresses possible season 2 of new BBC murder mystery
As a longtime fan of British television and a connoisseur of cosy crime mysteries, I must say that David Mitchell’s portrayal of John ‘Ludwig’ Taylor in BBC’s new drama, Ludwig, has left me utterly captivated. The witty dialogue, the intricate puzzles, and the charming performances by Mitchell and Anna Maxwell Martin have made this series a delight to watch.
David Mitchell has hinted at the potential for another installment of his fresh BBC murder mystery series, titled Ludwig.
In a different phrasing, Mitchell portrays the character of John ‘Ludwig’ Taylor, a secluded puzzle creator who unwillingly delves into detective work for murders. He shares the screen with Anna Maxwell Martin, playing the role of his sister-in-law Lucy.
With the final episode of this six-part series drawing to a close, I can’t help but feel a sense of anticipation. The way it ends subtly hints at the potential for further adventures in the captivating world of this BBC drama. Fingers crossed!
In an interview prior to the premiere, Mitchell expressed confidence that the team responsible for Ludwig, both on-screen talent and creators, are hopeful about a potential second season.
“That’s certainly our hope, that it’ll carry on,” Mitchell said. “Fingers crossed.”
Apart from discussing his reasons for joining the series, Mitchell mentioned his longstanding affection for murder mysteries, particularly those belonging to the cozy crime niche, stating that he’s been an avid fan of such stories.
“One of my fondest TV memories is watching Miss Marple with Joan Hickson as a child – I was referring to her being in the show, not physically present.
If a story can incorporate humor along with being a murder mystery, that’s ideal for me since I enjoy solving puzzles in that genre. However, I prefer to steer clear of stories that are too graphic, grim, or evoke feelings of human vulnerability.
“Following Agatha Christie’s approach, when a character gets murdered in our story, it doesn’t matter if we haven’t met them before, as the focus is on solving the mystery rather than mourning the loss. In Agatha Christie’s books, killing an unlikable character like an old colonel can be easily justified since most readers don’t have a strong emotional connection to him.
Try employing it to give the puzzle a touch of intrigue, as opposed to making it appear simply like a stolen handbag.
Ludwig is available to stream on BBC iPlayer and airs weekly on BBC One.
