The BBC has re-commissioned murder-mystery drama Shetland for a second series.

ITV’s Broadchurch went from strength to strength this week and the second series of The Syndicate had a strong opening on BBC One.

The second series of Prisoners' Wives debuted on BBC One on Thursday to an audience share of 17.8% and 4m viewers.

Shetland has a high bar to leap given the TV crime competition lately, especially the previous week’s Mayday and of course ITV’s epic Broadchurch.

David Tennant returned to our screens in ITV’s new drama Broadchurch last week with 6.2m viewers.

Douglas Henshall (Primeval) stars as Detective Jimmy Perez in BBC One’s new murder-mystery drama, Shetland.
