December 19th 2024.
The highly anticipated trailer for the upcoming Bergerac reboot has finally been released, and it's got fans buzzing with excitement. The beloved detective drama, which first aired over three decades ago, is making a comeback with a fresh new face and a contemporary twist.
It was announced earlier this year that the series would be returning to screens after 33 years, much to the delight of its loyal fan base. The original show, which ran for ten years, followed the adventures of detective-turned-private investigator Jim Bergerac, played by the talented John Nettles.
But with Nettles stepping down from the role, Irish actor Damien Molony has taken on the challenge of bringing the iconic character to life once again. And from the looks of the new trailer, he's doing a fantastic job.
The teaser begins with Bergerac waking up on a boat, setting the tone for the detective's tumultuous journey ahead. A voice-over poses the question, "why did you go back to work?" and we see a flashback of Bergerac embracing his late wife, who appears to have passed away.
The trailer then introduces us to the rest of the cast, including Zoe Wanamaker as Bergerac's mother-in-law Charlie Hungerford and Philip Glenister as Arthur Wakefield, a member of a prominent family on the island. We also catch a glimpse of Bergerac at a bloody crime scene, clearly struggling with his grief and personal demons.
But things take an unexpected turn when Bergerac is seen running down an alleyway and getting into a fight, while a couple argues and a young woman perches dangerously on the edge of a building's roof. What could possibly be going on here?
As the trailer comes to a close, we see Bergerac in a therapy session, where he reveals that his grief was "defining me and because I was a mess." But as the therapist asks him why he went back to work, Bergerac's answer is simple yet powerful: "Because I needed to prove something."
The new series promises to be a thrilling ride, as viewers will follow Bergerac as he solves a complex murder case while facing his own inner turmoil. With a troubled past coming back to haunt him and the pressure of living up to his predecessor's legacy, Bergerac will have to rely on his sharp investigative instincts to crack the case.
The six-part series is set to air early next year, and fans can't wait to see Molony's fresh take on the iconic character. In an interview, he expressed his excitement about stepping into the role and promised to bring a new perspective to the beloved character.
But the trailer also hints at a deeper and more emotional storyline, as Bergerac grapples with the loss of his wife and the challenges of battling alcoholism. Viewers will get to witness his journey of healing and redemption as he becomes the formidable investigator he once was.
With a stellar cast and a gripping plot, the Bergerac reboot is sure to capture the hearts of old and new fans alike. Make sure to mark your calendars for the early 2025 release on U and U&DRAMA.
