Sister Boniface Mysteries confirms date for 2024 Christmas special as comedy-drama returns

As a seasoned critic with a penchant for British dramas and a deep affection for mysteries, I must say that the return of Sister Boniface Mysteries is like a warm cup of tea on a cold winter’s eve. Having been raised on the witty charm of Father Brown, I am eagerly anticipating the spin-off’s Christmas special, especially with its delightful theatrical twist.


The spin-off series of the popular BBC drama “Father Brown,” titled “Sister Boniface Mysteries,” will air a special Christmas episode in December 2024, and we now have the specific date for its release.

On Friday, 20th December at 8pm, you can catch a full-length Christmas special on UKTV’s U&Drama, where Lorna Watson reprises her role as the crime-solving nun.

The storyline focuses on the Great Slaughter Amateur Dramatics Society (GSADS), who are busy preparing for their rendition of Cinderella during rehearsals.

However, rehearsals are soon plunged into chaos when a cast member dies mysteriously.

“Will Sister Boniface manage to catch the criminal before another attack occurs? Will GSADS provide the audience with a captivating holiday-themed performance? And, crucially, will Sam and Felix successfully perform a polka while dressed as pantomime horses?” The original synopsis is maintained in terms of meaning, but the wording has been simplified for easier comprehension.

Filming for the fourth season began as early as July, and it’s projected to premiere in the year 2025; however, an exact release date has not been disclosed as of now.

In another part of the show, a malfunctioning rodeo bull causes chaos on a game set, a terrorizing scarecrow haunts the city of Great Slaughter’s streets, an unexpected Scottish invasion takes place, a mysterious woman meets her demise in a failed stunt, and to make matters worse, CC Lowsley (Robert Daws) plans a ‘team bonding’ event.

In the meantime, Sister Adrian (Carolyn Pickles) has been harboring a hidden truth. If revealed, this secret might shatter the life the sisters have known together.

In the upcoming fourth season of Watson, actors Max Brown, Jerry Iwu, and Ami Metcalf will reprise their roles as DI Sam Gillespie, DS Felix Livingstone, and WPC Peggy Button, respectively.

Additionally, for season 4, we’ll be featuring Les Dennis from Coronation Street, Katherine Kingsley known for The Larkins, Martyn Ellis of Renegade Nell, Mina Anwar best recognized from The Sarah Jane Adventures, Ed Birch hailing from The Witcher, and Daniel Laurie, a familiar face in Call the Midwife.
