The 'Murder In Provence' Trailer Will Take You Away To France

There's something special about investigating a murder in beautiful places. That is why Agatha Christie put death on the Nile or small British villages where the quaint cottages mask gruesome crimes. In one of its first series to air on both BritBox US and BritBox UK, the streaming service has taken advantage of the south of France being, you know, just south of England and set its new series, Murder In Provence, in Aix-en-Provence. It might not be everyone's idea of a vacation, but it certainly will be an escape to the continent for those still stuck indoors.

Based on the Verlaque and Bonnet books by Canadian author M.L. Longworth, Roger Allam (Endeavour) stars as Antoine Verlaque, an investigating judge who spends his time out in the courtroom hunting down the whodunit, and Nancy Carroll (The Crown) as Marine Bonnet, his on-and-off girlfriend. She turns out to be a perfect partner in investigating crime. (It helps that she's a law professor and very knowledgeable about these things.) Keala Settle (The Greatest Showman), Verlaque's detective friend Hélène, helps them with the official arresting stuff. In between, they cook french food, drink wine, and eat cheese. You know, as you do.

Check out the delightful trailer that shows Allam and Carroll's excellent chemistry, as well as a few glimpses of the guest stars who will be part of the season's cases.
