Monarch of the Glen
For those who remember this series and would like to see it again, it is being shown again from the beginning, on Drama, starting Thursday 20th Feb, during the afternoon.
forums.digitalspy.comThe latest updates indicate that Monarch of the Glen is being revived for a new series, with Channel 5 in the UK greenlighting a reboot that will reimagine the Highlands-set drama for a modern audience. Filming is reported to begin later in 2026, and the new six-episode run is described as a fresh, family-focused saga built around legacy, love, and survival, with Ecosse Films returning as producer and a brand-new lead character at the center of the story. Expect a 2027 broadcast window for the new series, with casting details to be announced in due course.
