The Shetland Islands, a place of breathtaking beauty, and an idyllic destination, find themselves at the heart of some chilling investigations in this acclaimed criminal investigation series created by ITV Studios for BBC Scotland.

Under the bleak Scottish skies, join the tenacious DI Perez, a man who believes there are “no secrets ever on this island,” as he navigates confounding and often grisly cases that reek of foul play and send shivers through the spine of his serene, rural community. As Perez once put it, “Not everyone on Shetland is what they seem“.

In Shetland, secrets can’t stay buried, and justice never sleeps. Can DI Perez uncover the truth beneath the lies? Get ready for a ride that’s as unpredictable as the Scottish weather, in this riveting series where paradise meets the unnerving underbelly of crime.

Watch this spellbinding drama unfold, brought to life by a stellar cast: Douglas Henshall portrays the unwavering DI Jimmy Perez, Alison O’Donnell brings to life the keen DS Alison ‘Tosh’ McIntosh, and Steven Robertson plays the eager-to-please DC Sandy Wilson.

After Henshall left the series in 2022, Ashley Jensen (“Extras”, “Ugly Betty”), joined the cast as DI Ruth Calder.
