MASTERPIECE PBS has announced that Season 2 of Maigret will premiere on Sunday, October 18 on PBS at 9/8c and be available to stream via the PBS app and PBS MASTERPIECE on Prime Video.
Based on Georges Simenon’s novels about the iconic French detective, this ground-breaking, contemporary version of Maigret is written by Patrick Harbinson (Homeland, 24).
In the second installment of the MASTERPIECE Mystery! series, Chief Inspector Maigret (Benjamin Wainwright; Belgravia: The Next Chapter) and his team of detectives investigate a series of haunting and complex crimes. Based on adaptations of three of Simenon’s most famous Maigret novels – The Hanged Man of Saint-Pholien, The Yellow Dog, and Maigret’s Revolver – Season 2 dramatically raises the stakes for Maigret and his wife Louise (Stephanie Martini; The Gold).
Maigret’s unique brand of justice exposes him to the critical eye of his mentor, Police Director Xavier Guichard (Nathaniel Parker; The Inspector Lynley Mysteries). He decides that Maigret needs to be taught a lesson and deliberately weakens his team. With the pressure mounting inexorably, Maigret will be forced to make a choice between his personal life and his career.
