Catherine Tyldesley will be leaving the mystery series The Good Ship Murder. The show has been renewed for a fourth season, and Shayne Ward will return as the main character, Jack Grayling.
The show premiered in 2023, and actress Tyldesley has played the role of First Officer Kate Woods since the very beginning.
It’s now known that she’ll be making one last appearance as the character in the first episode of the new season, as a special guest.

The series The Good Ship Murder follows detective and cabaret singer Grayling as he investigates murders that happen both on a cruise ship and in the ports it visits. Season four will feature a new set of adventures filled with mystery and peril, and will also include appearances by guest stars.
With Woods leaving, Jack is entering a dynamic new period filled with challenges, shifting partnerships, and surprising developments.
What to Read Next
We’re delighted to announce a fourth season of The Good Ship Murder,” said Greg Barnett, a commissioning editor at Channel 5. “Viewers have really loved the show’s blend of mystery, music, and lighthearted fun, and we’re excited to continue Jack’s story with plenty of new twists and characters.
I’m so excited for Season 4! Andy Morgan, the executive producer, said they’re bringing in a bunch of new people to the show, and he thinks viewers are really going to connect with them. I can’t wait to meet them!

Jack’s adventures continue with some new friends and lots of memorable music as they sail the high seas! While we’re sad to say goodbye to a character we all loved, we can’t wait to see what happens next on The Good Ship Murder.
It’s not unexpected that Catherine Tyldesley is leaving the show, especially since she returned to Coronation Street last year to reprise her role as Eva Price and take on the Rovers Return. She’s currently involved in a difficult storyline where her partner’s teenage son is being manipulated by a coach.
The Good Ship Murder airs on 5, with a season four release date yet to be confirmed.
The latest issue of Living Legends, a vibrant 100-page tribute to Harry Styles, is now available! You can purchase it at newsstands or online.
