While the first season of the show was made up of two 90-minute episodes, this new season will be formed of six hour-long episodes, with the run being split into three two-parters.
The first two-parter will adapt Thorogood's second book in The Marlow Murder Club series, Death Comes to Marlow, while the other episodes will tell brand new stories, written by new writers Lucia Haynes and Julia Gilbert.
Guest stars set to feature across the new episodes include Nina Sosanya, Samantha Womack, Hugh Quarshie, Patrick Robinson, Tom Stourton, Caroline Langrishe, James Wilby, Elizabeth Bennett, Camilla Beeput and James Gaddas.
Late last year, Horgan said that she and the rest of the team behind the programme have "got hopes for future seasons" beyond season 2, adding that "[we're] hoping that these stories can continue" and that they are "delighted that the audiences are liking it".
The Marlow Murder Club season 2 will air on U&Drama and U from Wednesday 19th March at 8pm, while season 1 is available on U now.
