The wait is almost over for the 13th series of Father Brown, as BBC viewers are going to be treated to 10 new episodes of the beloved daytime crime drama.
Returning to reprise their roles are the likes of Mark Williams as Father Brown along with Claudie Blakley as the new Mrs Isabel Sullivan, Ruby-May Martinwood as Brenda, John Burton as Sergeant Goodfellow and Tom Chambers as Inspector Sullivan, after writing to bosses to return.
Although there are set to be some new faces, with Coronation Street's Maureen Lipman, Julia Sawalha, Phil Daniels, and George Rainsford joining the cast as guest's, BBC viewers will welcome back one familiar face, Sorcha Cusack.
Sorcha played the role of Mrs McCarthy in the BBC drama for many years, having appeared as the beloved character in season one up until leaving before season 10 aired.
Her exit was confirmed when promotional images for the 10th series of the show circulated online without her presence. At the time, it was suggested that Sorcha left the show in pursuit of new opportunities, following a statement made by John Burton.
