Shetland is a Scottish crime drama television series, made by ITV Studios for BBC Scotland and first broadcast on 10 March 2013. Initially based upon the novels of Ann Cleeves, the series was brought to the screen by David Kane, who has remained a principal writer throughout the series.
The series stars Douglas Henshall as Jimmy Pérez, a detective inspector working for the Shetland police, Alison O'Donnell as Detective Sergeant Alison "Tosh" Macintosh, and Steven Robertson as Detective Constable Sandy Wilson. Mark Bonnar, Lewis Howden, Erin Armstrong, Julie Graham, and Anne Kidd are also credited as principal members of the cast.[1]
The story takes place largely on the eponymous Scottish archipelago, although much of the filming takes place on the Scottish mainland,[2] with only some location filming actually taking place in Shetland.[3] Five series have been broadcast as of April 2019[update].[4] Douglas Henshall, playing Jimmy Pérez, won the 2016 BAFTA Scotland award for best actor and the series received the award for Best TV Drama.[5]
On 2 December 2019, BBC One announced that Shetland would return for two further series airing respectively in 2020 and 2021. Henshall is confirmed to return to his role, along with O’Donnell.[6] Production had to be postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic COVID-19.
Production
The first series consists of two episodes; a single two-part story based on the novel Red Bones by Ann Cleeves.[7] This series was broadcast across two nights on 10 and 11 March 2013 and was produced by Sue de Beauvoir.[8] Subsequently, a second series was commissioned by the BBC. Series two was extended to contain six episodes. These were filmed in 2013 and screened in 2014. This series features three two-part stories based on Cleeves' novels Raven Black, Dead Water, and Blue Lightning. This series was produced by Peter Gallagher.[9]
Filming began in April 2015 for a third series, which began screening in January 2016.[10] This series saw a change in format; with all six episodes covering a single story, written exclusively for television.[11] This was the first series not to adapt any of Cleeves' novels.[10] Ciarán Hinds and Anna Chancellor were among the new cast members for this series.[12] A fourth series was announced by the BBC in July 2016.[13] Again, this series is a single story played out across six episodes and written exclusively for television. Stephen Walters and Neve McIntosh were among the new cast members announced for the series. It was broadcast on BBC One beginning on 13 February 2018.[1]
In July 2018, Henshall confirmed that filming for series 5 would be over the following four months.[14] Series 5 was broadcast was on BBC1 from 12 February 2019.[15]
During filming, the cast and crew are usually based in Glasgow[16] and other areas of mainland Scotland.[10][2] Filming often takes place in areas with landscape or buildings reminiscent of those in the Shetland Islands, such as Kilbarchan in Renfrewshire, Barrhead, where Henshall was born and grew up,[17] Ayr and Irvine, North Ayrshire. "My character’s house is actually in Kilbarchan, the interior of a couple of crofts are here (in Irvine, Ayrshire) and the police station is in Barrhead", Henshall said in a 2019 interview.[18]
Filming locations on or near Shetland have included Lerwick, the main port of the Shetland Islands and on the NorthLink ferry approaching Lerwick as well as the village of Wester Quarff south of Lerwick.[19][20] Some filming was done on Fair Isle for series 2 while the Hillswick wildlife sanctuary was featured in series 4.[21]

The DI turns his attention to Finlay Caulfield regarding the photos of Anna on his camera, and while it becomes clear he was obsessed with her, it may not be enough to charge the stalker with her murder. There are still so many unanswered questions – until Sandy spots something on the CCTV footage that takes the investigation in a new direction. |
