Jason Watkins is set to appear in the second season of “Bookish,” the charming crime series that’s been praised as a “complete joy” by “The Guardian.

The detective series, known as ‘Sherlock’, which was developed by Mark Gatiss from ‘Sherlock’, is set to come back next year, and at present, they are producing six fresh episodes for it.

Building upon the outstanding achievement of its first season, boasting a flawless 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, Gatiss will once again portray the lead character Gabriel Book. Polly Walker and Connor Finch are set to return as Trottie Book and Jack Blunt in their respective roles.

The main three are set to reunite along with Elliot Levey, Blake Harrison, and Buket Kömür, as suggested in U&Alibi’s announcement. Additionally, there might be appearances from Miranda Richardson, Simon Callow, Rupert Graves, Claire Skinner, and Youssef Kerkour, who are expected to intersect with Book and his associates.

Regarding Watson, he is set to portray Harold Sneed, an enigmatic medium who becomes embroiled in one of Book’s inquiries, in the series McDonald & Dodds.

Bliss requests Book’s assistance regarding an intriguing murder at a men’s clothing store near Savile Row. The aged tailor, Maxie Kleinmann (Allan Corduner), expresses his desire to confess to the crime, but the evidence seems inconsistent and suggests a more convoluted and ominous scenario.

In the latest installments, characters named Book and Jack are dispatched to a picturesque German town called Würl, mysteriously summoned by someone known as ‘E’ (Callow), in order to catch a cunning Duchess (Richardson) during the festive holiday season of Christmas.

Initially, the festivities are enjoyable, but they soon become dangerous when Book and Jack discover secrets about their own past and present. This revelation happens in a castle filled with individuals who could potentially be murder suspects.

The book maintains a strong connection with the police, which comes with its own set of personal risks. Moreover, his unique relationship with his childhood friend Trottie (Walker) is under strain due to the charismatic Colonel Winters (Graves).

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but be excited about the forthcoming season that U&Alibi promises to deliver. This isn’t just your typical detective drama; it’s a stylish period piece with an unexpected twist. It masterfully combines the wistful longing of post-war nostalgia with the thrilling, daring, and invigorating vibe of the era itself.

Besides the array of talented actors featured in season two, the show Bookish has also invited some notable guest stars to join its lineup. These include Ricky Champ, Liza Sadovy, Oli Fyne, Ingrid Oliver, and John Hopkins, who are expected to make appearances in various episodes.

It’s anticipated that the series “Bookish” will resume for its second season in the year 2026. Currently, all episodes from season one can be streamed on platforms like Sky, NOW, and Virgin Media.
