Everyone\u2019s favourite daytime crime drama, Father Brown<\/a>, has officially begun filming its 12th season \u2013 but that\u2019s not the only good news in store for the BBC series.<\/p>\n

Not only can fans rest easy in the fact that Father Brown will soon be back on our screens with season 12 episodes, but it has also now been announced that the series has been renewed for season 13.<\/p>\n

So, there\u2019s plenty more in store for Mark Williams<\/a>\u2018s Father Brown, the beloved titular clergyman who is based on the classic character created by GK Chesterton.<\/p>\n

Williams will, of course, be reprising his role as Father Brown, and will also be joined by Tom Chambers as Chief Inspector Sullivan, Claudie Blakley as Mrs Devine, Ruby-May Martinwood as Brenda and John Burton as Sergeant Goodfellow, who are all reprising their roles for season 12.<\/p>\n

On the announcement of the start of season 12 filming, Williams said: \u201cAs we start the 12th season of Father Brown, I feel like I\u2019m starting to get to know him. He\u2019s a mysterious sort of bloke, the sort of person who you can never predict other than knowing he won\u2019t do what you expect.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best thing about playing the character is that I am never, ever bored by him.\u201d<\/p>\n

And with the happy news of the season 13 renewal, Neil Irvine, executive producer for BBC Studios Drama Productions, said: \u201cI\u2019m delighted that Father Brown will be cycling back onto our screens for a further two series.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe show has an enduring magic which has captured the imagination of viewers across the globe \u2013 a testament to Mark\u2019s magnetic performance, compelling storytelling and our talented Midlands crew.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeries 12 will introduce Father Brown\u2019s biggest fan, amateur playwright Father Lindsey, and a deadly new nemesis, alongside the return of some old favourites.\u201d<\/p>

There\u2019s plenty to look forward to in the 12th season of the cosy crime drama, as according to the synopsis: \u201cFollowing the exciting proposal at the end of series 11, the sleepy village of Kembleford is abuzz with good news, as Mrs Devine (Claudie Blakley) and Chief Inspector Sullivan (Tom Chambers) look forward to their upcoming wedding.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut when a surprise visit from the father of the groom quickly throws preparations into turmoil, will they even make it to the church?\u201d<\/p>\n

The synopsis continues: \u201cWith a medieval death at a Tudor battle reenactment, Mrs Devine finding herself accused of murder, Sergeant Goodfellow\u2019s professional future thrown into question and Brenda ballroom dancing on national television, Father Brown and the gang are busier than ever.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd when a cardinal from the Vatican arrives with a top-secret mission for Father Brown, the priest must request the help of his old adversary Flambeau, while a new nemesis lurks in the shadows\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
