Nicola Walker’s “quirky” and “compelling” crime drama is back on TV tonight – don’t miss out!

Get ready! The hit detective series starring Nicola Walker as Annika will grace our TVs tonight, taking over the coveted Saturday evening spot on BBC One at 9:10 PM. Simultaneously, it will be available for streaming on BBC iPlayer.

In the UK, the second season was broadcast initially on U&Alibi in 2023, following the same release pattern as the first season. If you’ve been eagerly anticipating this new set of episodes to appear on BBC or simply want to re-watch, now is your opportunity!

I’m hooked on the crime series Annika, where I, as a fan, follow DI Annika Strandhed (Walker) leading the Marine Homicide Unit (MHU). She delves into the enigmas and murders that unfold along the Scottish coastline. The show also features Jamie Sives, fresh from Netflix’s police drama Dept. Q, as DS Michael McAndrews. Katie Leung, known for her role in Nightsleeper, plays DC Blair Ferguson, and Paul McGann, recognized from Bookish, portrays Jake Strathearn.
