Shetland is back for a brand new series, which will also mark the end of the road for one of the show’s original stars.
Alison O’Donnell will reprise her role as DI Alison ‘Tosh’ McIntosh for the final time during series 11, acting alongside Ashley Jensen as DI Ruth Calder as the duo - and their fellow investigators - work to uncover the truth behind a historic murder.
The team make a grim discovery when a car is dredged from the water, and unknown skeletal remains are found in the boot. From there, they begin to dig into the mystery which leads them to Dr Raymond Linden, the car’s owner who fled from the isles nine years before.
Leading the investigators to the doctor’s family, the secrets uncovered will change the lives of those connected in the present day - causing ripple effects within the community.
Fans should expect several new faces among the cast of Shetland series 11, including the likes of Gregor Fisher, Stella Gonet, Christine Bottomley, Gavin Mitchell and more.
Speaking about the guest cast members, Jensen said: “I worked with Gregor many years ago, so it was wonderful to be reunited with him. And Gavin was an absolute joy to have on set.”
She added: “I think comedy actors can move into drama far more easily than people realise. They’re often much more versatile than they’re given credit for. Gregor and Gavin both play gritty, emotional roles that have a huge impact on the story.“
Here is the full cast of Shetland Series 10 - both new and old.
