Hit TV series to return to the BBC this summer after 35 years

Bergerac is returning to the BBC this summer after a 35-year hiatus, reviving the Jersey-set police drama that originally ran from 1981 to 1991. The reboot, which began on UKTV in 2025 with Damien Molony in the lead, also stars Zoë Wanamaker, Robert Gilbert, Chloé Sweetlove, and Pippa Haywood. Series two arrived in April, and early reception has been positive, with IMDb rating around 6.6/10 and viewer praise for a darker, more layered tone. BBC confirms that first-season episodes will be available on iPlayer and BBC Two this summer.
