UKTV has acquired the UK premiere rights to the first two series of the new Maigret adaptation for its free streaming service U and television channel U&DRAMA. Series one is scheduled for December, with the second series following in 2027. Benjamin Wainwright plays Georges Simenon’s detective Jules Maigret, with

Stefanie Martini as Louise Maigret and Blake Harrison as Joseph Torrence. Playground produces the adaptation, which follows the inspector and his team through complex Paris cases while his methods bring him into conflict with his superiors. The acquisition forms part of a 114-hour agreement with Banijay Rights. That

wider package also includes the second series of A Remarkable Place to Die, scheduled for November. The announcement supplies a month for Maigret’s UK arrival rather than an exact premiere day. Read the official source. Image: Playground / Banijay Rights; official Maigret promotional key art.
