Here’s everything we know about Maigret Season 2.

Yes, Season 2 has officially been ordered.

A premiere date has not been announced, but filming started in April 2026 in Budapest.
What happens in Maigret Season 2?
Maigret is a contemporary adaptation of Georges Simenon’s beloved novels about the titular French detective.
This season sees dramatic changes in La Brigade Criminelle. Maigret’s boss and mentor, Director of Police Xavier Guichard, is introduced, played by Nathaniel Parker from The Inspector Lynley Mysteries. Guichard has become suspicious of Maigret’s growing fame and decides to “take him down a peg.”
One of Maigret’s colleagues leaves, another is transferred by Guichard and replaced by a former Internal Affairs officer, George Bonfils, played by Alex Bhat (Marie Antoinette, Outlander), who immediately makes himself unpopular with Maigret’s core team. This internal turmoil is the backdrop for daring new adaptations of three of Georges Simenon’s best-known Maigret novels: The Hanged Man of Saint-Pholien, Maigret’s Revolver, and The Yellow Dog.
As Maigret investigates cruel and heartbreaking crimes, he will find that the line between guilt and innocence can be impossibly blurred. He will have to reach deep into his heart to work out his own unique form of justice, for victims and perpetrators alike.
