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!

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.
