In the new series, audiences will be introduced to Jim Bergerac as a broken man, battling his demons and on leave after the death of his wife.
But things soon change when a member of Jersey's wealthiest families is murdered and the Chief of Police wants their best detective on the case, leading Bergerac back to work.
The logline continues: "Bergerac returns to work to help him become the formidable detective he once was, whilst also trying to prove to his daughter Kim and mother-in-law Charlie Hungerford that his life is back on track.
"The Wakefield's, led by patriarch and businessman Arthur, are keeping their cards close to their chests, whilst a man from Bergerac's past resurfaces to make a shocking accusation. Is Bergerac up to the job?"

In this modern re-imagining of Bergerac, the series aims to honour the iconic drama which starred John Nettles and ran for nine seasons on the BBC from 1981 to 1991.
In a change from the original series, Bergerac will have one character-led murder mystery run across all six episodes, rather than a new storyline in each episode.
