Maigret is an upcoming television series based on the Jules Maigret novels by Georges Simenon.
Jules Maigret is a rising young detective in the Paris Police Judiciaire, who heads La Crim, the serious crime unit.[1]
Unlike previous adaptations, the series will be set in the present day.[2]
Blake Harrison, Reda Elazouar, Kerrie Hayes, Shaniqua Okwok and Rob Kazinsky play members of Maigret's police team.
In 2021, the estate of Georges Simenon made a co-production and licensing deal with Playground Entertainment and Red Arrow Studios to produce a new English-language series of Simenon's Maigret novels, with the option extending to the entire canon.[3] By 2024, Red Arrow were no longer involved with the production.[4]
In September 2024, the main cast and creative team were revealed along with the news that production had commenced in Budapest, where several previous Maigret adaptations have been shot. The six-episode series will air on PBS under their Masterpiece Mystery banner whilst global distribution will be handled by Banijay Rights.[5]
