BBG News

As a seasoned gamer and a fan of intriguing mysteries, I can hardly contain my excitement over the news that “Ludwig” has been renewed for another season! With its unique blend of humor, suspense, and a dash of British charm, this show has captivated me since its debut.

Anna Maxwell Martin and David Mitchell’s BBC murder mystery Ludwig has had its future confirmed.

The show, starring the main character from Peep Show who is a puzzle-settler-turned-accidental detective, has completed its first broadcast on BBC One.

Exciting news for fans! The broadcasting network has renewed the series for another season, ensuring that both Mitchell and Martin reprise their roles as John ‘Ludwig’ Taylor and Lucy Betts-Taylor.

Mitchell expressed his satisfaction that John ‘Ludwig’ Taylor was unable to evade the Cambridge law enforcement, which means he’ll need to deal with the persistent wave of puzzling crimes in the city.

Mark Brotherhood, the creator, expressed: “Everyone has been amazed by the response to Ludwig, and I’m delighted that we can return with even more brain-teasing puzzles tailored to his distinctive approach!

Since its premiere a month ago, Ludwig has been a massive success, surpassing all other scripted shows on the BBC since 2022 and marking the biggest comedy launch in the past six years with a staggering 9.5 million viewers tuning in over a period of 28 days.

About a week ago, Mitchell voiced optimism about the future of the series, saying during a Q&A session, “We genuinely hope it will persist, let’s keep our fingers crossed for its continuation.

Besides sharing his role in the series, the actor explained what specifically drew him towards it. He mentioned his fondness for cozy murder mysteries as the reason behind his attraction.

“My fondest TV memories from childhood are watching Miss Marple with Joan Hickson. It feels like she was a part of the show itself, not just an actress on screen.

I find murder mysteries intriguing, particularly if they can be presented in a humorous light. However, I prefer to steer clear of graphic or grim depictions that evoke the fragility of humanity.

Ludwig is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
