Many moons ago, Detective Mike Shepherd (Neill Rea, Go Girls, The Warrior's Way) arrived in the seemingly tranquil, rustic town of Brokenwood, in his classic car with a country music collection to die for, and never left. Now, series 11 takes us back to the scenic splendour of small-town life where a web of deception, greed and dark secrets hides in the shadows.
The new series joins Brokenwood's best and brightest detectives once again as Mike Shepherd (Rea), Kristin Sims (Fern Sutherland, The Almighty Johnsons, A Mistake) and Daniel Chalmers (Jarod Rawiri, Boy, Shortland Street) tackle their most perplexing cases yet. Along with eccentric pathologist Gina Kadinksy (Cristina Ionda, Out of Season, Filthy Rich), they use all manner of unconventional methods to solve the town's most macabre mysteries with warmth, camaraderie and deadpan humour.
The gripping new series cracks open a new casebook of crimes continuing to brand Brokenwood as New Zealand's most murderous town. From an '80s rock star with a dead groupie on his conscience, to an explosive school quiz night, with a fatal séance, a killer chandelier and a science teacher's ziplining misadventure in the mix. Even Santa Claus makes an appearance as oddball Frodo's (Karl Willetts – The Power of the Dog, Evil Dead) infamous family experiences a lethal case of stolen identity.
Cosy up with The Brokenwood Mysteries this October for another round of curiously heinous crimes, small-town secrets and thrilling twists and turns, it would be a crime to miss it.
