‘Maigret’ TV Adaptation Lands At PBS Masterpiece Starring ‘Belgravia: The Next Chapter’s Benjamin Wainwright & Stefanie Martini
deadline.comThe long-gestating TV adaptation of Georges Simenon’s Maigret has landed at PBS Masterpiece, with Belgravia: The Next Chapter’s Benjamin Wainwright and Stefanie Martini (Prime Suspect 1973) playing the eponymous leads.
From Colin Callender’s Wolf Hall producer Playground, the series follows the detective and his wife in Paris. Maigret is a rising star in the Police Judiciaire, relentless in his investigations, with an uncanny ability to get under the skin of the criminals he is chasing and a matchless knowledge of Paris and its inhabitants.
Lead Wainwright played Lord Frederick Trenchard in MGM+ sequel series Belgravia: The Next Chapter, which followed on from Julian Fellowes’ original.
Patrick Harbinson (Homeland, 24, The Tower) is writing Maigret and the cast includes Blake Harrison (World on Fire, I Hate Suzie Too), Reda Elazouar (Sex Education, Pirates), Kerrie Hayes (The Responder, Criminal Record), Shaniqua Okwok (The Flatshare, It’s a Sin) andRob Kazinsky (Star Trek: Section 31, Eastenders), with Nathalie Armin (Showtrial S2, Juice) set to play Prosecutor Mathilde Kernavel.
