THE TENTH series of BBC crime drama Shetland is set to hit screens across the UK in a couple of weeks.<\/p>\n

The first episode of the six-part series is scheduled to air on BBC One on Wednesday 5 November at 9pm.<\/p>\n

The series will again see Ashley Jensen (DI Ruth Calder) team up with Alison O\u2019Donnell (DI Alison \u2018Tosh\u2019 McIntosh).<\/p>\n

Originally based on award-winning novels by crime writer Ann Cleeves, the new series sees Calder and Tosh travel to the isolated hamlet of Lunniswick to investigate the killing of an elderly woman.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs they begin to unravel life in this close-knit community, shocking, long-buried secrets rise to the surface with unexpected consequences for all \u2013 including the team,\u201d programme information said.<\/p>\n

Regulars such as Steven Robertson (playing DC Sandy Wilson), Lewis Howden (Sgt Billy McCabe) and Anne Kidd (pathologist Cora McLean) will also feature in series ten.<\/p>\n

The guest cast includes Clive Russell (The Witcher, Sandman), Ellie Haddington (Motherland, Guilt), Niall MacGregor (The Bombing of Pan AM 103, Line of Duty) and Greg McHugh (Guilt, The A Word).<\/p>\n

Filming took place in Shetland as well as on the mainland.<\/p>\n

Locally Levenwick was the location for Lunniswick.<\/p>\n

Kate Bartlett of production company Silverpoint Pictures said the new series has a \u201cdistinctive and emotionally complex story, set against the stunning and evocative landscape of the Shetland Isles\u201d.<\/p>\n
