Get ready, detectives! The fantastic news is that Karen Pirie has officially been renewed by ITV! That's right, Lauren Lyle is set to return as our favorite cold-case-cracking DS. The next season, which will be based on Val McDermid's second novel in the series, A Darker Domain, was confirmed in February 2024. While our magnifying glasses are polished and ready, ITV has not yet announced a specific air date for the new episodes.
So, when can we expect to rejoin Karen on the mean streets of Scotland? With filming scheduled to take place during 2024, industry insiders are pointing towards an early 2025 release date. Given the production timeline of the first season, this seems like the most realistic window for the show's return to ITV1. While a late 2024 premiere is a thrilling possibility, early 2025 is the safer bet. Don't want to miss the official case file opening?
