And after 22 crime-filled seasons, Midsomer Murders recently celebrated its 23rd anniversary and will be making a comeback in less than two weeks. 

The hit ITV series based on the novels by Caroline Graham follows the efforts of Detective Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby and later his successor and cousin John Barnaby to crack a series of murders in the fictional county of Midsomer.

Season 22 of Midsomer Murders originally aired from December 4, 2023, to December 25, 2023.

The series was executively produced by Brian True-May, Jo Wright, Jonathan Fisher, and Michele Buck.

The cast included Neil Dudgeon as DCI John Barnaby, Fiona Dolman as Sarah Barnaby, Isabel Shaw as Betty Barnaby, Nick Hendrix as DS Jamie Winter, and Annette Badland as Dr. Fleur Perkins. The other cast members include Manjinder Virk, Gwilym Lee, Tamzin Malleson, Kirsty Dillon, Daniel Casey, John Nettles, Jane Wymark, Laura Howard, Barry Jackson, John Hopkins, Jason Hughes, and more.

The same cast will likely reprise their roles in the upcoming new series, which kicks off on April 14.

The official synopsis for season 23 of Midsomer Murders reads: "Warren, who was part of a small doomsday prepper community in the village, had found much comfort being with like-minded individuals… until now.

"The duo must question if someone was desperate to get their hands on Warren's shelter, or if someone is trying to send a message?"

Last season, Midsomer Murders fans were all left saying the same thing as This Morning star Holly Willoughby made her acting debut on the murder mystery show.
