The acclaimed crime drama Whitstable Pearl, based on the novels by Julie Wassmer, returns for six new episodes, courtesy of edgy Norwegian filmmaker Øystein Karlsen (Exit, Dag, Lilyhammer).  

The beautiful English seaside town of Whitstable is home to single mother Pearl Nolan (Kerry Godliman – Derek, After Life), who divides her time between serving up tasty seafood delicacies in the Whitstable Pearl restaurant with her mother (Frances Barber – Trick or Treat, Silk) and solving the crimes, debauchery and murder regularly brought in by the tide. The British seaside holiday will never be the same again!  

Season two sees our amateur sleuth becoming immersed in more crime, family drama and a compelling will-they-won’t-they love affair with Mike (Howard Charles – The Musketeers, Top Boy), all set against the stunning backdrop of Whitstable’s mysterious Kentish coastline. In the opening episode, Pearl is hired by local ex-soldier Dan Tomlin, whose son has disappeared under questionable circumstances.
