David Mitchell plans to continue providing similar content in Ludwig’s second season, set to begin filming by the end of this year.
The former Peep Show star and Would I Lie to You? panellist has another hit on his hands with the BBC comedy-drama, which sees a puzzle fanatic assume his missing brother’s identity in order to uncover what happened to him.
Ludwig debuted in September 2024 on BBC One and iPlayer, gathering nearly 10 million viewers within its initial month, promptly leading to a second season renewal.
In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, marking the show’s US debut on BritBox, Mitchell was pressed on what’s coming up for his detective in the next set of episodes.
The scripts are currently being drafted, and revealing additional details at this point wouldn’t benefit viewers. We plan on filming during this year.
Mitchell continued: “Our hope and aim is to give more of the same: the ongoing, intriguing narrative and the same weekly, resolved mystery. Other than that, I don’t really know much more, but I’m also under instructions not to say any more!
I enjoy starting a program with just the basics, as the element of surprise plays a significant role in making it entertaining.
It’s uncertain if Ludwig will gain widespread popularity among overseas audiences, but Mitchell believes that the show’s distinctively British character might appeal to those seeking a similar sensibility.
Not concerned with the British-isms that might be unfamiliar to American viewers, Mitchell said that “even if you don’t get the specifics of every reference, you basically get where things are going”.
The series is a homecoming of sorts for Mitchell as it is filmed in Cambridge, the historic city where he attended university, with the comic and actor sharing that he’s been comforted by the familiarity of the location.
He added: “The world is changing in frightening ways, and therefore places like Cambridge are reassuring because, overwhelmingly, the place looks identical [as before].”
