Bergerac is returning for a 're-imagined series' three decades later
Bergerac is back on our screens 33 years after the original series ended on BBC One.
www.whattowatch.comHere’s the latest I could find on the Bergerac reboot cast based on recent reports.
- The reboot remains in production with a refreshed cast. Reports from mid-2025 note filming underway in Jersey and the UK for the second series, with Damien Molony continuing in the lead role and Zoë Wanamaker returning as Charlie Hungerford, alongside new cast members. This marks a continuity update from the original 1980s run while expanding the ensemble.[1][2][3]
- Notable new additions to the cast for the second series include Adrian Edmondson and Lesley Sharp, in addition to other newcomers such as Camilla Beeput, Turlough Convery, Jonathan Aris, Charles Dale, Georgina Rich, and Denzel Baidoo. Returning cast members include Molony and Wanamaker, plus several others from the first reboot season.[2][1]
- Coverage from trade and entertainment outlets highlights the series as a re-imagined adaptation set in the present day, with the second season continuing the modernized take and character dynamics introduced in season one. A release window for 2026 has been cited by various outlets, aligning with filming updates and press announcements from UKTV and its Drama channel partners.[3][7][2]
If you’d like, I can narrow this to a single source with the most authoritative details or look for the very latest confirmation on casting and air date from UKTV or ITVX.
