Shakespeare & Hathaway – Private Investigators is back for a 5th season which sees Jo Joyner, Mark Benton and Patrick Walshe McBride reprising their roles as Luella Shakespeare, Frank Hathaway and Sebastian Brudenell!
The BBC’s second biggest daytime series in 2022, this BBC Studios Drama Productions show follows mismatched private detective duo ex-hairdresser Luella (Joyner) and Frank (Benton) as they investigate crime in Stratford-upon-Avon and its environs.
Filming actually brought them to Worcestershire in mid-October as they were filming scenes within Redditch Football Club’s grounds. With some scenes shot outside the grounds, we stepped in to assist with Stop/Go traffic management as well as arranging a license to place a marquee opposite – we’re always happy to help in any way we can!
Although we don’t have a release date just yet, it is due to be aired in 2025 so we’ll be keeping an eye out for this one. In the meantime, you can catch up on the first four series on BBC iPlayer!
