“An epic power struggle is happening in La Brigade Criminelle in Maigret Season 2.”
The Masterpiece series Maigret will return for its second season on PBS in October, according to TV Series Finale.
Benjamin Wainwright, Stefanie Martini, Nathalie Armin, Reda Elazouar, Blake Harrison, Kerrie Hayes, Shaniqua Okwok, and Rob Kazinsky star in the series, which is a contemporary telling of the Georges Simenon novels following Detective Jules Maigret. Season two is based on The Hanged Man of Saint-Pholien, Maigret’s Revolver, and The Yellow Dog.
What is the plot of Season 2?
PBS shared a description of the new season's conflict. "An epic power struggle is happening in La Brigade Criminelle in Maigret Season 2," the network said. "Maigret’s boss, Director of Police Xavier Guichard, has become suspicious of Maigret’s methods and decides to ‘take him down a peg.’"
The description continues, "One of Maigret’s colleagues leaves, another is transferred by Guichard and replaced by George Bonfils, who is immediately unpopular with Les Maigrets. As Maigret investigates new crimes, the line between guilt and innocence is blurred. The unconventional detective will have to work out his own unique form of justice for victims and perpetrators alike."
Where can I watch the series?
The series is a contemporary adaptation of the classic detective novels. As of July 2026, the 1991 French series starring Bruno Cremer is available to stream on MZ Choice.
