Bergerac will return to screens in 2026 after the reimagined Jersey detective show was renewed for a second series.
It follows the success of its initial six-episode run on U and U&DRAMA, which became the second highest-rated programme ever on the channel.
Viewers watched the rebooted series with interest, more than 30 years since the last episode aired, as 1.8 million people tuned in.
The show also received global recognition as deals were struck with several international broadcasters, including ABC in Australia, TVNZ in New Zealand and BBC First in Poland.

The drama was praised by some for its contemporary take while retaining features that made it such a hit in the 1980s, with one TV critic calling it “a love letter to the original series”.
Damien Molony will return as the title character Bergerac, saying: “Bringing this iconic role back has been an incredible experience.
“My predecessor had solved six crimes in the time it’s taken for me to solve one, so I have a bit of catching up to do. I can’t wait to explore the character of Jim Bergerac further and see what case we crack next.”
Zoë Wanamaker and Robert Gilbert will also be back as Charlie Hungerford and Barney Crozier respectively, with further cast announcements expected in the coming months.
The second series will see love interests develop for both Zoë and Damien’s characters while he has to investigate a groom’s murder at a wedding reception.
Toby Whithouse will continue in his role as lead writer and Helen Perry, UKTV’s Head of Drama, says he has done a “remarkable job”.
She adds: “Viewers loved the first series, so we’re thrilled to be taking them back to the beautiful island of Jersey for another thrilling investigation that’s even more twisty than the first.”
