Midsomer Murders is returning for its 23rd series on ITV with DCI John Barnaby and DS Jamie Winter once again looking to solve a fresh batch of cases.
There will be four episodes in total, which will concern a number of topics such as Doomsday preppers, a tight-knit community of retired police officers, an organic bakery causing resentment among a number of villagers and a drag show.
All of these inevitably lead to a murder which the team at the Midsomer Constabulary will need to solve.
Alongside the main cast, there will be a number of recognisable actors making guest appearances, including the likes of Paul Chahidi (This Country, Wicked Little Letters), Tom Conti (Oppenheimer, Shirley Valentine) and Jo Martin (Doctor Who, Fleabag).

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
