Good, clever series. I enjoyed it - and hope a Series 2 will eventually come about (which I've read or heard there is significant likelihood of).

Everyone hopes that series 2 will start filming soon, perhaps in 2023? Of course it all depends on the financiers and when Lesley is available. It will probably be adapted from the second Susan Ryeland novel "Moonflower Murders (2020)".

Here is the "Magpie Murders Preview Q&A" panel with author Anthony Horowitz, producer Jill Green, director Peter Cattaneo and stars Lesley Manville, Daniel Mays and Tim McMullan.

I've for years been a fan of wonderful Lesley Manville. In this she, as usual, gives a superb performance.

Lesley Manville is an excellent actress. So many great performances in other television series, like "Emmerdale", "Ain't Misbehavin", "Mum", "Fleming", "The Crown", to name but a few, and of course there are the movies, of which "Maleficent" is probably the best known to the general public. I hope that she'll one day be honoured with the title of Dame.

By the way, very cool opening-credits montage and accompanying music.
