Talking about the plot, the producers say: "Following the explosion of their coach business in the Drapers Tours trilogy, Terry (Johnny Vegas) and Gemma (Sian Gibson) set out on a new adventure as fully-fledged private detectives in Murder, They Hope. They found themselves in the middle of a poisonous pastry scandal, at the mercy of a murderous Bunnyman and chasing down a coach driving serial killer all while moving in with Gemma's sister Monica (Sarah Hadland) and trying to save for their much anticipated wedding. Series 2 picks up where we left off and promises church bells, couples therapy, aristocratic mystery and a framing like no other."

Murder, They Hope will be broadcast on Gold later this year.
