Death Valley
Timothy Spall as a retired detective who becomes a detective himself is one of the coziest British premieres of spring.
BBC One and iPlayer launched the comedy detective Death Valley on May 25, 2025. John Chapel is an eccentric national treasure, a detective actor from the cult series Caesar, who has retired. Detective Sergeant Janie Malloyen is socially awkward but ambitious. Together they form an incredible tandem to investigate murders in South Wales. The tone is witty, cozy, but with real detective intrigue. Format - 6 episodes. If you like Ludwig, Vera, or British crime comedies in the spirit of Morse - Death Valley will provide a great evening.
