Baptiste could end after next series

‘Baptiste’ could end after its second series.
The BBC has revealed plans to bring back the drama – which stars Tcheky Karyo as retired police investigator Julien Baptiste – for another run, but now co-creator Jack Williams has suggested the programme could be coming to an end.
Jack – who is the writer and managing director of production company Two Brother Pictures alongside sibling Harry – told Deadline: "Julien Baptiste is back for one more case.
"I expect it will be the last time we see him and we will be saying goodbye to the character."
Filming is set to get underway in Budapest, Hungary next month, while Fiona Shaw will join the cast as British Ambassador Emma Chambers for the upcoming six-part season.
Emma’s whole family disappears during a ski trip in the Hungarian mountains, with Julien navigating a local police force – which he doesn’t trust – and a relentless media hungry for more information.
In a statement this week, Harry and Jack said: "We are thrilled to be continuing Julien Baptiste’s story.
"Even more ambitious than ever, this year’s story pays homage to its roots in ‘The Missing’ by unfolding across two distinct periods of time, and we can guarantee even more surprises and twists.
"It’s a privilege to work once more with the mesmerising Tchéky Karyo who has created an iconic character. And this year he’ll be joined by Fiona Shaw, an incredible actress who we’ve wanted to work with for some time. We can’t wait to see the two of them together."
Fiona added: "I’m honoured to be joining this hugely talented and committed team with the superb writing of Harry and Jack Williams and under the direction of Thomas Napper. I’m so lucky to be working with all the best of the new generation!"
