Yah. It’s back. S2 of Death Valley

The unlikely crime solving duo make a welcome return as retired actor John Chapel and disarming Welsh detective sergeant Janie Mallowan, alongside regular cast Alexandria Riley (Helen Baxter), Steffan Rhodri (DCI Barry Clarke), Melanie Walters (Yvonne Mallowan) and Rithvik Andugula (DC Evan Chaudhry

Series two picks up a few months after the events of series one, Janie has been promoted to Detective Inspector and is busier than ever, with paperwork stacking up quicker than she can clear it.

To make matters worse, she’s been ignoring John since finding out he’s been dating her mum.

Janie’s hand is forced after a murder in a Community Payback group when DCI Barry Clarke forces her to bring John Chapel in as the department's consultant.

Series two sees John reluctantly re-enter the world of acting, on the set of an epic Welsh fantasy TV series, when the pair are called to investigate a murder.

Will this foray into his old thespian passion ignite something once forgotten in John?

One thing is certain, whether investigating a murder in a coastal fishing village, a sustainable commune or the competitive world of rugby, John and Janie will continue to bring justice to mid-Wales.

Some good guest roles coming up - Guest artists featured across the series include Jane Horrocks (Here We Go, Chicken Run), Hammed Animashaun (Black Ops, SNL UK), Alexandra Roach (Killing Eve, Bodies), Roisin Conaty (After Life, Last one Laughing), Mark Lewis Jones (Chernobyl, Baby Reindeer, Outlander), Jim Howick (Ghosts, Here we Go), Owen Teale (Game of Thrones, Line of Duty, Sandokan), Asim Chaudhry (People Just Do Nothing, The Cleaner), Lynn Hunter (Pushers & End of the Fxx World), Rhiannon Clements (Small Prophets, Pushers), Mike Bubbins (Mammoth) and Liz Carr (Silent Witness, Good Omens).

Episode 1 series 2, did anyone else enjoy the little nugget / Easter egg?

Timothy Spall in character saying how Caesar was once up against Lewis on ITV in ratings and beat it, but don't tell Kevin as they are good friends? For those who are too young, to know these things Timothy Spall and Kevin Whatley starred together in 'Auf Windersein Pet' back in their much much younger days.

Good episode this week, I thought. Some nice lines.

Davros · 01/06/2026 19:40

I’ve been watching the new series, having found the main female copper EXTREMELY irritating in the first one. She’s the same but, for some reason, I now love her! And I love her clothes. I’m a total convert instead of Luke warm

Blondeshavemorefun · 01/06/2026 21:07

Kept me guessing who killed him

but as soon as said they swapped curry’s I knew he wasn’t the intended victim

My kids love this.

We've only watched ep1 so far. Same quality as series 1 which is nice to see.

I need to watch AWP I think I'd enjoy it!

purpleme12 · 06/06/2026 11:37

What's AWP?

Started watching the first series but didn't even finish the first episode as the female character was so annoying.
Shame as we usually like watching anything with Timothy Spall.

Worth sticking with it. It/she does improve.

Davros · 06/06/2026 19:01

She really does improve

ConstanzeMozart · 06/06/2026 19:09

She still yells everything, or is it just me?
I do enjoy it, in an undemanding sort of way, but have to be in the mood or I just feel like I’m wasting my life watching it.

purpleme12 · 06/06/2026 19:51

I loved it from the start and still love it now

Imusthavesaiditwrong · 06/06/2026 21:24

Good episode again this week. John in danger of being pushed out of his 'father-figure' role?
