Dalgliesh Season 2 and 3 Potential Release Date

The series’ producer New Pictures will return to the set to film the episodes, the first of which begins filming this year in preparation for a 2023 premiere. As of July 13, 2022, the precise release dates have not yet been confirmed for Dalgliesh Season 2 and 3. However, based on the pattern of the season one release dates, we may anticipate that the premiere date for the second season will be in the next year. Season 2 will begin shooting this Summer, but information about Season 3 is still unconfirmed, though filming will begin in Northern Ireland sometime in 2023.

We’d estimate that the release date would be sometime in 2023—probably sometime in or around the month of November. Similarly, season three will be released a year later, which will be sometime around November 2023. Furthermore, we would like to emphasize that at this point, everything is just conjecture. Fans should thus be patient because the network will confirm these facts in the upcoming months, so they should keep a watch on it.
