Shetland fans don\u2019t have long to wait before season 7 arrives on BBC One. Sadly, it will mark Douglas Henshall\u2019s last. Henshall has been playing DI Jimmy Perez on the Scottish-set crime drama<\/a> for almost a decade, but he announced he would be quitting the show<\/a> back in July.<\/p>\n Speaking of his exit<\/a>, Henshall explained it was \u201ca little anticlimactic.\u201d He said: \u201cMy last scenes were filmed in a car park in Kilmacolm which was very odd. We\u2019d tried to wrap three times but, because of COVID, it kept being put back. So it felt a little anticlimactic in the end.\u201d<\/p> The actor revealed he did get to say \u201ca few words of thanks to everyone who was there but it\u2019s impossible to encapsulate 10 years of work.\u201d He continued: \u201cShetland<\/a> has meant a lot to me and it\u2019s going to take some time to sink in that I\u2019ve left the show.\u201d<\/p>\n An eighth series has already been confirmed, and whether it can survive without Perez<\/a> remains to be seen, especially since his replacement has yet to be announced.<\/p>\n
