There\u2019s good news for Father Brown fans as the BBC have renewed the daytime drama for season 12, meaning plenty more mystery to follow with the crime-solving priest, played by Mark Williams<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Seeing as season 11 left on quite the cliffhanger, fans will no doubt be thrilled that the show will return for more and it\u2019s to be expected \u2013 Father Brown has been a TV schedule constant for over a decade, premiering back in 2013.<\/p>\n

With filming on the new season set to kick off soon, there\u2019s plenty to tuck into for season 12 after Inspector Sullivan (Tom Chambers) proposed to Mrs Devine (Claudie Blakley). So, could wedding bells be on the cards? Quite possibly.<\/p>\n

With that, read on for everything you need to know about the upcoming twelfth season of BBC\u2019s Father Brown.<\/p>\n

As of now, the BBC have not confirmed when season 12 of Father Brown will be released<\/strong>. However, we do know that filming on the new series is set to kick off in April in Birmingham so it\u2019s likely that the new series will premiere some time in January 2025.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll be sure to update you with more concrete details once they become available.<\/p>\n

As for who will return for season 12, it wouldn\u2019t quite be a season of Father Brown without the priest at the helm of it now, would it? So, we\u2019d most definitely expect Williams to be back in the title role.<\/p>\n

When asked about whether he thought of the future of his time on the show, Williams admitted (via What to Watch<\/a>): \u201cI don\u2019t really do that. I think it\u2019s bad for the soul. In this business, planning for the future is an extremely dangerous preoccupation. You have only got one job at a time.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou never know whether you\u2019re going to work again, which is one of the cruelties of this business, along with rejection. Which is why it\u2019s amazing that so many people do it year after year in the face of these terrible setbacks and unemployment!\u201d<\/p>\n

As for the rest of the cast, we\u2019d most definitely expect to see Tom Chambers and Claudie Blakley return as Inspector Sullivan and Mrs Devine after that lovely proposal in the season 11 finale. But as we know, each episode in the series focuses on a new case and a new guest cast so we can expect some plenty of new cast members.<\/p>\n

The list of characters we\u2019d expect to make a return to Father Brown season 12 are:<\/p>\n
