Shetland is a BBC Scotland crime drama television series starring Douglas Henshall as Detective Inspector Jimmy Perez. The story takes place largely on the Scottish archipelago of Shetland, though much of the filming is done on the Scottish mainland, with some on location in Shetland. It is largely based on the novels by Ann Cleeves.
The first series consists of two episodes as a pilot – a single two-part story based on the novel Red Bones by Ann Cleeves. It was broadcast on 10 and 11 March 2013. Subsequently, a full second series was commissioned by the BBC. Series two contains six episodes, filmed in 2013 and screened in 2014. It features three two-part stories based on Ann Cleeves' novels Raven Black, Dead Water, and Blue Lightning. Filming began in April 2015 for a third series which began screening on 15 January 2016. A fourth series was announced by the BBC in July 2016. The upcoming series will once again contain six parts and is scheduled to begin filming in early 2017.
The first series was produced by Sue de Beauvoir.
The second series was produced by Peter Gallagher.
A third series began filming in 2015, with Douglas Henshall returning as Jimmy Perez, joined by Game of Thrones star Ciarán Hinds, Anna Chancellor and Julie Graham. The series consists of six episodes, telling a single full-length story. The third series does not adapt any of Cleeves' existing books.
