Entertainment / BBC confirms Shetland will return in 2026
THE SHETLAND TV series is set to return again in 2026 for series 11.
The announcement was made at the end of last night’s Wednesday programme, which brought series 10 to an end with a bang.
BBC Scotland confirmed the news following the show, and said it would provide more details about series 11 in the New Year.
Series 10 of Shetland was significant in that a large section of the production moved to Levenwick, which became the fictional hamlet of Lunniswick, for the shoot.
The latest series of the show focused on the death of a former social worker in the area, and the investigation into her murder.
It featured a stronger role for Sergeant Billy McCabe, played by actor Lewis Howden, as well as returning roles for the central trio of Ashley Jensen, Alison O’Donnell and Steven Robertson.
And local lass Havana Duncan also played a part, with the schoolgirl even getting a speaking part as she portrayed Chloe Burnett.
