TWO soap legends have signed up for the second series of a hit crime drama.
UKTV’s The Marlow Murder Club has been greenlit for another installment with a cast shake-up.
Joining the lineup is EastEnders star Samantha Womack, best known for her role in the Walford-based soap as Ronnie Mitchell.
Samantha, 51, will play Caroline Wingrove, with Shetland’s Patrick Robinson starring as her on-screen husband.
The actress was killed off from EastEnders in 2017 during tragic New Year’s Day scenes.
Ronnie and her sister Roxy drowned after entering the swimming pool at Ronnie’s wedding reception to Jack Branning.
Also joining the cast for the second series is Baby Reindeer’s Nina Sosanya, Holby City’s Hugh Quarshie, Ackley Bridge star Andrew Knott, Doctors’ Elizabeth Bennett.
Camilla Beeput and James Gaddas complete the lineup.
The Marlow Murder Club’s return was previously revealed earlier this year.
Six episodes have been commissioned, with the first two episodes based on Robert Thorogood’s second book, Death Comes to Marlow.
The third and fourth will then cover a new standalone mystery, just like the fifth and sixth episodes.
Fans of the hit series will have to wait until 2025 to get stuck into the brand new stories.
