A glorious setting, thrilling mysteries and plenty of wine:\u00a0Murder in Provence<\/a> really has everything.<\/p>\n Roger Allam stars as Antoine Verlaque, an Investigating Judge in Aix-en-Provence, and teams up with his partner Marine Bonnet (Nancy Carroll) and colleague H\u00e9l\u00e8ne (Keala Settle) to solve mysterious crimes in the French countryside.<\/p>\n As the first season comes to ITV (after debuting on BritBox), RadioTimes.com<\/strong><\/a> spoke exclusively to Allam, who expressed his desire for a second season \u2013 and not just for the beautiful work setting!<\/p> When asked how excited he is to see Murder in Provence get a second airing on ITV, Allam said: \u201cVery much so! It gives a wider exposure and encourages everyone to commission another series!\u201d<\/p>\n If it did return, Allam isn\u2019t sure what would happen. \u201cYou just want things to develop and not stay the same. That\u2019s all, but I don\u2019t know in what way I\u2019d like it to develop actually.\u201d<\/p>\n Surely it would mean more filming in Provence? \u201cDefinitely,\u201d laughed the Endeavour<\/a> star.<\/p>\n When asked why this was a show he wanted to dive into, Allam explained: \u201cWell, it\u2019s very different, which is something I always like to do.<\/p>\n \u201cBut also I got involved in it quite early on when I first got the script, it must have been three years ago. And then of course, the pandemic stopped it being done that year.<\/p>\n \u201cThe adaptation is by one of my oldest friends, Shelagh Stephenson. She wrote it, in a sense, very consciously for me, I think. So the wit and the humour stuck and was something I pretty much responded to.\u201d<\/p>\n Murder in Provence is available to watch now.
