Is McDonald & Dodds returning for season 5?

As a devoted fan of this gripping series, I eagerly await the possibility of another season of McDonald & Dodds. Each installment brings new challenges, intriguing guest stars, and the dynamic duo’s unparalleled wit and detective skills. The latest season finale left us hanging with more questions than answers, but that only adds to the anticipation for a potential fifth season!


In the fourth episode of McDonald & Dodds, their action-filled season continued as they tackled three intricate cases while working alongside an array of renowned guest actors such as Toby Stephens from James Bond fame, singer Will Young, and pop sensation Pixie Lott.

What can we expect from our main characters next? Will they continue their detective work in Bath for another season of the ITV series, potentially a fifth one?

We certainly hope so after that finale (more on that later).

Watch this space for updates.

When could a potential McDonald & Dodds season 5 air?

Back in 2020, this captivating series graced our screens for the very first time. A year later, in 2021, we were hooked once more as season 2 unfolded. And just when I thought I couldn’t wait any longer, here comes season 3, landing on our screens the year after!

However, no new episodes were released in 2023, and season 4 didn’t start until July 2024. So, if season 5 is approved for production, it’s uncertain when it will air – it could be in 2025, but there’s also a possibility we’ll have to wait even longer.

As soon as we know, we’ll update this page.

Additionally, we would likely see performances by Tala Gouveia portraying DCI Lauren McDonald and Jason Watkins in the role of DS Dodds.

  • Claire Skinner as Chief Supt Ormond
  • Charlie Chambers as DC Goldie
  • Bhavik C Pankhania as DC Lee

And, as ever, there would be plenty of new guest stars if the show does return for another outing.

What could happen in a potential McDonald & Dodds season 5?

It looks like more wedding bells would be on the cards in a potential season 5.

In the climax of our investigation into a string of mysterious wedding-related demises, I reached out to my partner in those critical last moments of the final episode.

She affirmed with a surprising chuckle, “It’s a affirmative,” she replied, previously hesitant to agree during their vacation when he presented the proposition.

I’m eagerly wishing for her to marry in the upcoming season, and praying there are no unexpected emergencies on her wedding day.

In the fourth season, Dodds briefly engaged in a romantic interlude with a photographer, portrayed by Victoria Hamilton. Regrettably, they chose to part ways after that period.

The parting felt final, but could we see her return in season 5?

McDonald & Dodds is available to stream on ITVX.
