After six more thrilling, funny and intriguing episodes, the second season of Ludwig has now come to an end, with all episodes available to stream now on BBC iPlayer.
But when will we get to see that next move? Is there more Ludwig on the horizon? And what do we know about future plotlines and returning characters?
Read on for everything you need to know about Ludwig season 3.
Will there be a Ludwig season 3?
Meanwhile, Jon Petrie, outgoing BBC director of comedy commissioning, said: "Ludwig is exactly the kind of smart, distinctive, audience-pleasing show we love at BBC Comedy. Sharp writing, a compelling story, big laughs and, naturally, a generous helping of puzzles.
It was also confirmed in September, mid-way through the run, that Ludwig will also be coming back for a 2026 Christmas special before that, helping to tide fans over.
When could Ludwig season 3 be released?
In mid-August, Dipo Ola, who plays DI Russell Carter, told Radio Times that "we get to start" season 3 in "a couple of weeks", suggesting production would begin in September 2026. This would be exactly a year after season 2 started filming in September 2025.
Of course, this is just speculation for now, and we will make sure to update this page with any more concrete news regarding season 3's release date as and when we get it.
In the meantime, fans can expect a Ludwig Christmas special to arrive in the 2026 festive season.
What could Ludwig season 3 be about?
In comparison to previous seasons, it seems he will now have his full team on side, with Russell, Ethan and Caitlin all now also working the case. Henry, DCS Carol Shaw and Gareth Fisher are all now also all-in on bringing Kemper to justice.
Alongside this, we will also no doubt see John and the team investigating more cases each week, solving puzzles and unmasking murderers.
Who could return to star in Ludwig season 3?
We are also expecting Anna Maxwell Martin, Ben Ashenden, Rumi Dutton, Dylan Hughes, Dorothy Atkinson and Mark Bonnar to be back, given the season 2 cliffhanger which saw all of their characters gathered around and vowing to take down Sian Clifford's Joanne Kemper. In this same vein, we're very much expecting Clifford to also return.
Ziegler took his own life in the season 2 finale, in an attempt to frame Kemper and expose her for her crimes. His efforts were in vain, but unless he pops up in flashbacks, it seems he is gone for good.
