The Plot of Upcoming Season
This season will feature even more exciting cases to crack each week. Moreover, fans will see how each character takes their next step after all that happened in the first season. But will these cases be enough to change Humphrey’s boss’s mind and keep the police station open?
The official plot synopsis read: “Shipton Abbott continues to keep DI Humphrey Goodman and his team busy, with a baffling new crime each episode. From a death on a steam train to a missing teacher, the team have their work cut out. Even more so, with Police HQ’s threat of the local station house closure hanging over them – the pressure is on to get results.”
“Meanwhile, Humphrey and Martha’s journey to find their own version of a family continues as they explore the possibility of fostering. Martha’s mother Anne throws herself into the world of online dating, and a well-meant gesture from Esther’s daughter Zoe threatens to uncover a long-held secret.”
Where Has Season 2 Been Filmed?
The upcoming shooting was in the same location as the first season. The series will roam through Looe’s harbour, the seafront, and many more new locations in Shipton Abbott.
Marshall said at the time of filming: “Shipton Abbott is such a wonderful location to call home for a while, and it’s a delight to join up with my fellow police team for another batch of weird and wonderful cases and to see what’s in store for Humphrey and Martha in the next chapter of their lives.”
