Season 1 of Murder They Hope was a star-studded comedy-drama that aired last year, and now season 2 is a follow-up to the deliciously absurd whodunnits Murder on the Blackpool Express, Death on the Tyne, and Dial M for Middlesbrough.

The new run, which will premiere on Gold later this month, reunites Car Share’s Sian Gibson and comedian Johnny Vegas as the warring pair who are now operating their own private detective service while simultaneously preparing for their imminent wedding.

While working on another batch of bizarre cases, the duo is simultaneously seeking to garner listeners for the agency’s new podcast.

“The private detective agency is still in business, but I wouldn’t recommend them!” Gibson chuckles. “Gemma and Terry are getting ready for their marriage, but Gemma squeezes in another case before the big day.” They start the series as a group. Misfortune seems to follow them everywhere, and they quickly become entangled in a much larger storyline.

Has their relationship ever looked to be entirely stable? However, they are put to the ultimate test, and rocks are thrown at them. There’s a lot more drama between them both. Sandi Toksvig, the host of QI and Extraordinary Escapes, appears as Terry’s old buddy Harry, a former assassin who may answer some of Gemma’s queries.

Murder They Hope Season 1, Recap!

Terry Bremmer and Gemma Draper do not disappoint in Murder They Hope. The two stars are wonderful as the hapless couple, as they have been in their previous three series. After their trip to Middlesbrough turned out to be a little more explosive than they expected, the pair sweeps away the ashes of their coach tour company and embarked on a new adventure as inexperienced private investigators.

Given their (un) fortunate history of investigating murder cases that magically fall into their laps, the pair is convinced that their skills will be put to the test soon. Unfortunately, the cases don’t come in, so they end up moving in with Gemma’s sister Monica and hoping business comes up soon.

Their fortunes appear to be improving until a rare childhood figurine of a ‘bog-eyed’ bunny proves to be more precious than they could have imagined. Because it is the only one ever manufactured in a collection of 100 models, it is highly sought after by obsessive collectors, the most zealous of whom is The Bunnyman, who would go to any length, including Murder, to get the object.

Mayhem occurs in the established manner of the previous series. As with all of our reviews, we leave the spoilers at that so you can appreciate the humor for yourself; there is enough to enjoy in Jason Cook’s colorful writing.
