'Sister Boniface Mysteries' Already Renewed For Season 2

It wasn't even a year ago that BritBox announced the cast for the Father Brown spinoff, The Sister Boniface Mysteries. The streaming service originally ordered the show in the weeks before the March 2020 shutdown ground filming in the U.K. to a halt. Fans knew the series would be headed up by Lorna Watson (Watson & Oliver), who had originated the character on Father Brown. However, lockdowns over the next 18 months kept the show from getting back on track until September 2021. But it seems BritBox has no desire to wait that long for more episodes, with a renewal order for Season 2 arriving barely days after the show's premiere.

Season 1 debuted on BritBox on Tuesday, Feb. 8. The next day, and the Television Critics Association press tour panel, producer Will Trotter told the assembled reporters that Season 2 was officially greenlit. In a statement, Trotter said, "We are absolutely thrilled to see Sister Boniface return for a second series. Jude Tindall and the team of writers have created unforgettable characters full of wit and mischief. Lorna's performance is as forensic as her character — the sharp intelligence, charm, and warmth she brings to the role is an irresistible combination. The entire cast and crew have been a joy to work with, and I think that shines through in this big-hearted and hugely original show."
