Julie Graham returns to our screens as Jean McBrian, as does Rachael Stirling playing Millie Harcourt.
But Anna Maxwell Martin has not reprised her role as Susan Gray, and Sophie Rundle, Hattie Morahan and Faye Marsay are also absent.

What is The Bletchley Circle: San Francisco about?
The spin-off, set three years after the last Bletchley Circle series, follows Julie and Millie as they go to San Francisco to investigate the death of a close friend. They are joined by US code-breakers Iris (Crystal Balint) and Hailey (Chanelle Peloso), who – like their British counter-parts – feel undervalued, under-appreciated and cast away after the war.
The women face adversity, both in the face of the perpetrators of the crimes, and from the patriarchal 1950s society they work in.
With no friends other than their fellow code-breakers, and thousands of miles away from home, just how will Julie and Millie solve the murder of their friend?
