The brooding Baptiste will be returning for a brand new mystery next year - and it's set to be one of his darkest yet.
The troubled detective, who was first introduced to audiences in The Missing, finds himself spiralling into a dark place in the new series after suffering from a deeply personal tragedy - turning to alcohol to numb the pain.
Looking for a new case, and pushing wife Celia away in the process, Baptiste latches on to a mystery after British Ambassador Emma Chambers (played by Killing Eve's Fiona Shaw) asks for his help when her family vanish.
The journey to find Emma's husband and two sons take Baptiste to the heart of Budapest's underworld, with Baptiste now having to grapple against his failing mental state as well as the growing interest in the case.
