Tomorrow marks 10 years since the premiere of The Coroner.
Set in the fictional seaside town of Lighthaven and filmed around South Devon, the series follows coroner Jane Kennedy (Claire Goose) as she investigates unexplained deaths alongside her childhood friend, DS Davey Higgins (Matt Bardock). Created by Sally Abbott, it delivered case-of-the-week mysteries with a warm, community feel and plenty of coastal atmosphere.
Across two seasons (20 episodes), The Coroner became a daytime favorite on BBC One, and it’s a good selection for anyone who enjoys light, but not too fluffy crime shows.
In the US, you can stream it HERE on BritBox or Hallmark.

Shetland news: There’s still no word on when Season 10 will premiere in the US, and there’s been no official statement about a renewal for Season 11 - but we spotted Season 11 listed on a couple casting/production sites on Friday, and they said filming begins in March 2026. It’s not the official BBC announcement, but it’s a very promising sign.
What we’re…
Watching: Susan Calman’s Grand Week by the Sea - Amazon Prime now has both this one and Susan Calman’s Grand Day Out now, and both are delightful. Calman is a fun and cheerful host, and the series is full of fantastic scenery and great ideas for future trips.
Reading: Human Croquet by Kate Atkinson - I spotted this one among today’s Kindle deals, and it sounded interesting (and so far, it is). In the quiet 1960s suburb of Lythe, once an Elizabethan estate rumored to have hosted Shakespeare, sixteen-year-old Isobel Fairfax searches for answers about her missing mother and mysterious family past. As time slips and warps around her, revealing glimpses of centuries-old secrets, Isobel discovers that the truth about her village and herself is far stranger than she ever imagined.
