Father Brown investigates when rivalries escalate to murderous heights at the Kembleston Olimpicks. Meanwhile, Mrs Devine is determined to keep her new relationship with Chief Inspector Sullivan a secret from everyone.
Harry Potter legend Mark Williams is back as Father Brown. Lorna Watson is also back as Sister Boniface. Also returning are John Light as Flambeau, Ruby-May Martinwood as Brenda Palmer, Claudie Blakley as Mrs Devine, and Tom Chambers as Sullivan. Ex-Time Lord Sylvester McCoy is among the guest stars.
The new season of Father Brown picks up in 1955 when Chief Inspector Sullivan and Mrs. Devine have grown closer since we saw them last, something which hasn’t escaped the notice of Father Brown and Brenda.
With a food fayre to die for, a real-life crime at a crime writing festival, and a village rivalry that turns deadly at the local Olimpicks, there’s plenty for the gang to be busy with. Father Brown and Sister Boniface become embroiled in a murder at an arts and crafts fair, while Brenda takes a trip in time to face ghosts from her past when an old friend, Dr McClurgy, reaches out. Meanwhile, Father Brown’s frenemy Flambeau returns with his estranged father, Gabriel, in tow and a dangerous mission in mind…

Mark Williams returns as the crime-busting priest, with longtime cast members John Burton as Sergeant Goodfellow and Tom Chambers as Inspector Sullivan. More recent additions to the cast include Ruby-May Martinwood as Brenda Palmer, Claudie Blakley as Mrs. Devine. Guest cast for this season includes Sylvester McCoy (Doctor Who), Ingrid Oliver (Watson and Oliver), Ian Gelder (His Dark Materials), and, for the 11th straight season, John Light (Murder in Provence). Lorna Watson also returns as Sister Boniface, reuniting the fan-favorite crime-solving duo.
Mark Williams says:
“It’s an honour to be returning to Father Brown for an eleventh series of warmth, drama and humour, as well as sleuthing with my partners in crime solving. It’s also always a treat to film in the beautiful Cotswolds.
Father Brown Season 11 will debut on BritBox in the U.S. on Tuesday, January 23, and streams weekly through the end of March 2024.
