Murder in Provence finally comes to ITV this Sunday, with a cast of familiar faces in episode one.
The gorgeous-looking cosy crime drama was previously only available on BritBox.
And it’s the perfect show for this sizzling weather.
Here’s everything you need to know about the cast and their characters…
Roger Allam leads the way in Murder in Provence as Antoine Verlaque
The Endeavour legend plays Antoine Verlaque, an investigating judge in the picturesque city of Aix-en-Provence in the sun-drenched French département of Bouches-du-Rhône.
An investigating judge is like a British detective crossed with a prosecutor – they gather evidence and present the case.
Antoine has a tragic back story – his alcoholic wife died by suicide. But he’s now happily in love with beautiful Marine Bonnet.
As well as playing DCI Fred Thursday in Endeavour, Roger Allam, 68, is also known for roles in Game of Thrones and The Thick of It.
