The series follows DCI McDonald, a feisty officer who has transferred from the Met to picturesque Bath, who is partnered up with the quiet and unassuming DS Dodds, who proves to be something of a genius when it comes to solving the clues in a murder mystery. The synopsis reads: "Thrown together seemingly with nothing in common, they forge a rumbustious, and ultimately highly effective crime-solving partnership."
McDonalds & Dodds is coming back
Speaking about season two, ITV’s Drama Commissioner Huw Kennair Jones said: "We’re delighted with the audience reaction to the first series of McDonald and Dodds. The two characters couldn’t be further apart, which is what makes the series so intriguing to watch. They shouldn’t have chemistry, but they do, and they work brilliantly in partnership which is testimony to Robert’s script and Tala and Jason for bringing McDonald & Dodds to life."
