Bergerac is returning with a 2025 makeover and plenty of networks are welcoming the iconic detective back.

The Jersey-set series was made for UK channel U&Drama by Banijay’s BlackLight TV and Westward Studios, with Damien Molony (The Split, Brassic) playing the titular crime fighter, Jim Bergerac. The premiere is Feb 27 2025.

The original series came from Robert Banks Stewart and starred John Nettles. It ran for nine seasons between 1981 and 1991. Unlike that show, which had a new storyline in each episode, the modern series from writer Toby Whithouse follows one character-led murder mystery.

Bergerac begins the series as a broken man, grappling with grief and alcoholism following his wife’s death. His mother-in-law (Zoe Wanamaker) is concerned he is not putting his daughter (Chloé Sweet Love) first, and when a woman from a wealthy Jersey family is murdered, he has to go through personal struggles to become the formidable investigator he was. Philip Glenister also stars.

So, I think that even more than just putting Black people in shows, there need to be stories that reflect the Black experience. Make sense of Black, Brown, Asian... experience, because [it’s important] not just for ethnic minorities, I think it’s an education for everybody. And I think it leads to a much more tolerant society if we’re exposed to each others’ stories. It just makes sense and it’s important. Very-very important. And I certainly like to keep an eye on things like that, and talk a lot, among my actor friends, about the lack of diversity. It’s an issue for sure. (x)
