“The team must overcome their grief to tackle a dangerous crime wave. This time, the gloves are well and truly off for Professor T in his lectures, and a new musical pursuit, romance is very much alive for his mother Adelaide Tempest, and the lines between professional and personal become blurred for therapist Helena Goldberg. Meanwhile, DI Maiya Goswami takes charge of the police force with series favorite DS Dan Winters fiercely at her side.”

Ben Miller reprises his role as Professor Jasper Tempest in the new season. Talking about returning to the show, the actor said in an official statement:

“There’s nothing out there quite like ‘Professor T,’ with its unique mix of complex crimes and captivating characters, all set against the beautiful backdrop of Cambridge; the central enigma being the Professor himself… a mystery I hope to investigate for many seasons to come.!”

Other returning cast members include Barney White as DS Dan Winters, Sarah Woodward as Ingrid Snares, Sunetra Sarker as DCI Maiya Goswami, Frances de la Tour as Adelaide Tempest, and Juliet Stevenson as Dr Helena Goldberg.
