David Mitchell's latest BBC murder mystery series, Ludwig, has fans on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaiting news of a potential new series. Starring David in the titular role as John, a man who discovers his knack for crime-solving while impersonating his brother James, a real police detective who has mysteriously disappeared. John proves to be exceptional at cracking cases - but the question remains: will he have the opportunity to showcase his sleuthing skills in future episodes? All six thrilling episodes of Ludwig are available for binge-watching on BBC iPlayer, and the show is currently captivating audiences every Wednesday on BBC One.
However, viewers are left wondering whether there will be a follow-up series or if John's days of crime-fighting have come to an abrupt end. While a second season has not been officially confirmed, there's a glimmer of hope for more episodes. Discussing one intriguing aspect of the series, where the full significance of the cipher on James' wall remains a mystery, David tantalisingly hinted: "Even over the whole first series, that's not all solved, which is why we hope for more.
" Is this a subtle indication that another series might be in the pipeline? When quizzed about his aspirations for a new series, David suggested that there could indeed be more adventures ahead, saying: "Certainly our hope that it will carry on, so fingers crossed." Ludwig also features a stellar cast including Anna Maxwell Martin as Lucy Betts-Taylor, Dipo Ola.
