Shakespeare & Hathaway: Season 5 news!


Hot off the presses!
The BBC website announced today that Season Five of Shakespeare & Hathaway has started filming with Jo Joyner, Mark Benton & Patrick Walshe McBride. The new series, produced by BBC Studios Drama Productions in Birmingham, is a co-commission by BBC Content and UKTV, and will premiere exclusively on UKTV’s specialist crime drama channel, Alibi next year before launching later on the BBC and iPlayer in the U.K. (BritBox has aired Shakespeare & Hathaway in the U.S., so I can only surmise it will pick up Series 5 ). Series one to four are available on Britbox now.

Created by Paul Matthew Thompson and the late Jude Tindall, the series follows an unlikely pair of private investigators, hardboiled ex-cop Frank Hathaway (Benton), and warm-hearted ex-hairdresser Lu Shakespeare (Joyner), as they work the cobbled streets of Stratford-upon-Avon, solving thrilling cases and murders most foul.
