Bath-set crime drama McDonald & Dodds has been axed by ITV after four series. The show featured two mismatched detectives DCI Lauren McDonald (Tala Gouveia), a former Metropolitan Police investigator and her bespectacled sidekick DS Dodds (Jason Watkins), a shy and a modest investigator, also a chips and butter lover, who solve each crimes around Bath and the surrounding region.
Originally titled Invisible, a pair of films from the first series were shot between June and August 2019, which was broadcast in March 2020. After a success in ratings, the show was renewed for a second series in February 2021 followed by a third series in June 2022. In March 2023, it was renewed for a fourth series and was broadcast in July 2024, three months later than planned.
Alongside Gouveia and Watkins, the show also featured recurring actors who worked at the fictional West of England Police Station comprised of James Murray (CS John Houseman), Claire Skinner (CS Mary Ormond), Pearl Chanda (DC Laura Simpson), Jack Riddiford (DC Darren Craig), Danyal Ismail (DC Martin Malik), Lily Sacofsky (DC Milena Paciorkowski), Charlie Chambers (DC Samuel Goldie) and Bhavik C. Pankhania (DC Lee).
We would like to thank screenwriter Robert Murphy, Tala, Jason and an amazing array of guest and recurring cast over the past four years on making the wonderful show.
The show's creator Robert Murphy said "It has been an amazing four years to have privilege with Gouveia, Watkins and a fantastic array of guest actors over the past four series and we would like to thank everyone at ITV and Mammoth Screen over the past four years."
The show's fourth series has just concluded recently this summer with the final episode entitled Wedding Fever and ITV has no plans to produce a fifth series.
You can stream all four previous series of McDonald & Dodds on ITVX.
