Jo Joyner and Mark Benton reprise their roles for series 5 of Shakespeare & Hathaway, alongside Patrick Walshe McBride (my favorite!), who plays aspiring actor and understudy Sebastian Brudenell. Filming is underway in the streets of Stratford-Upon-Avon.
Shakespeare & Hathaway started 7 years ago, and there have been 4 seasons and 40 episodes. The show features ex-Detective Inspector Frank Hathaway turned private investigator who meets ex-hairdresser Luella Shakespeare when she employs him to investigate the fiancé she met online. Together they form a private detective agency.
Series 5 of Shakespeare & Hathaway will premiere on UKTV’s specialist crime drama channel, Alibi, shortly with a later launch on the BBC and iPlayer. U.S. airing? No news, but the first four seasons are available on BritBox, so possibly Shakespeare & Hathaway, Season 5, will air on Britbox later this year. Stay tuned!!
