Ludwig Series 2 confirmed

Having attracted nearly 10 million viewers with its opening series, Ludwig - the comedy drama series starring David Mitchell and Anna Maxwell Martin - has been recommissioned.

British Comedy Guide, 31st October 2024

Ludwig's Anna Maxwell Martin is TV's most underrated actor

It's time she was propelled into the league of Sarah Lancashire, Keeley Hawes and Olivia Colman - where she belongs.

Ludwig review

Stick with this detective drama - David Mitchell is perfectly cast as a loveable amateur sleuth.

Chris Wasser, The Independent (Ireland), 26th September 2024

Ludwig review

David Mitchell's clever detective might just be a match for Morse.

Roland White, Daily Mail, 26th September 2024

Ludwig is charming - David Mitchell was made for cosy crime

Mitchell suits his new role as an accidental murder detective in this endearing - if a little PG - police drama with a twist.

Nick Duerden, i Newspaper, 25th September 2024

Ludwig review

David Mitchell solves puzzles and crimes in BBC comedy-mystery.

Dan Einav, The Financial Times, 25th September 2024

Ludwig review

It's been commissioned out of the BBC's comedy department, but Ludwig falls into the same category of charming whodunits as Death In Paradise or Father Brown - both of which writer Mark Brotherhood cut his teeth on - which would normally be categorised as drama.

Steve Bennett, Chortle, 25th September 2024

Ludwig review

Like watching Peep Show's Mark join the police force.

Lucy Mangan, The Guardian, 25th September 2024

Ludwig review

If you like Thursday Murder Club, you'll love this abject pap from David Mitchell.

Louis Chilton, The Independent, 25th September 2024

Ludwig review

The stakes are low with David Mitchell's code-cracking introvert.
