Summary

Filming is underway for the eleventh season of the popular BBC murder mystery drama, Shetland. The new six-part series sees the return of stars Ashley Jensen and Alison O'Donnell, who will reprise their roles as DI Ruth Calder and DI Alison "Tosh" McIntosh.
The investigation begins with a perplexing discovery: skeletal remains found within a car recently pulled from the water. This immediately draws the attention of Calder and McIntosh, who must identify the car's owner.
Their search leads them to a respected local GP, who mysteriously vanished from the Shetland Isles nine years ago amidst persistent rumors. The detectives will delve into the GP's past and the lives of those he left behind, navigating dark and dangerous paths to uncover the truth. The series is being filmed across the Shetland Isles and other locations in Scotland, with a planned broadcast on BBC One and BBC iPlayer later this year.
Shetland, originally adapted from Ann Cleeves' novels, continues to showcase Scotland's scenic beauty and talent. Lead screenwriter Paul Logue has crafted a story filled with atmospheric tension and unexpected twists. Executive producer Kate Bartlett highlighted the incredible Scottish talent involved in the production. Last year, Shetland ranked among the top five most-watched BBC Dramas, and was the leading BBC Drama in Scotland. This season promises to be a gripping continuation of the critically acclaimed series.
