On his Instagram at the end of March, Robson Green said: “We have lift off! “Filming starts soon on ‘The Northumbria Mysteries’

“So proud to be part of this New Series set against the stunning, dramatic and spiritual backdrop of Northumberland. “It’s about two people who are opposites of each other, but who want to change.

“Joe has so many regrets and is seeking redemption, while Rose has always done the ‘right’ thing but not always had the best outcomes.

“They want to make a difference in different ways. One wants to become more spiritual, the other wants to become more meaningful.

“They both have good hearts, but bad habits, and they are at a time in life where they are ready to think outside the box to make a difference.

“So when they unexpectedly find a connection in solving a mysterious murder, it takes them ages to realise what that connection is!

“And then even longer to work out what to do about it.

“It’s a show for everyone who’s ever made mistakes, but who hasn’t given up just yet! “And just when you, as the audience, think you’ve solved the crime, you haven’t.”

Banijay Rights revealed: “Produced by Lonesome Pine and starring Robson Green, the drama brings together a compelling crime and the Northumberland coastline.”

First-look images from filming in Morpeth have now been released, showing Robson in character for the upcoming series.

An official broadcast date for The Northumbria Mysteries has not yet been announced, but people have been expressing their excitement online at the upcoming TV show.
