In the bucolic but brutal seaside town of Ystad, Sweden,
Inspector Kurt Wallander has been solving heinous crimes for his
entire middle-aged career. In his first recurring television
role, Branagh brings the scruffy Swedish sleuth to life in a
trio of gritty cases, “Sidetracked,” “Firewall,”
and “One Step Behind.” A co-producing partner and
longtime fan of the novels, Branagh describes his character as
“wonderfully complex and compelling.”
“Wallander” will introduce PBS audiences to a stunning
part of the world—and a fascinating new detective, noted
executive producer Rebecca Eaton.
A feast for Agatha Christie fans is also slated for this summer
as McKenzie takes over the iconic role of spinster sleuth Miss
Marple in three new episodes of the fourth season of the popular
Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple series. Suchet then follows as the
suave Belgian super sleuth in two new episodes.
