As for who will be returning for Season 12, it wouldn’t be a Father Brown season without Priest at the helm, so we can safely assume Williams will be returning in the lead role.
When asked if she ever thought about her future while on the show, Williams admitted (via What to Watch ): “I don’t really do that. I think it’s bad for the soul. Planning for the future is a very dangerous interest in this industry. You can only do one job at a time.”
“Not knowing if you’ll ever work again is one of the cruellest aspects of the job, along with rejection. That’s why it’s amazing how so many people continue to work for years, facing such terrible setbacks and unemployment!”
As for the rest of the cast, we can safely say that Tom Chambers and Claudie Blakely will be returning as Inspector Sullivan and Mrs. Devine after their sweet marriage proposal in the final episode of season 11. But as we all know, each episode of this series focuses on a new case and a new guest cast member, so we can expect to see a lot of new cast members.
Here is the list of characters expected to return in “Father Brown” season 12:
Mark Williams (Father Brown), Tom Chambers (Inspector Sullivan), Claudie Blakely (Mrs. Devine), John Barton (Sergeant Goodfellow), Ruby Mae Martinwood (Brenda Palmer), Nancy Carroll (Mrs. Felicia Montague), John Wright (Mr. Hercule Flambeau)
Other potential returning cast members include Lorna Watson as Sister Boniface, Sylvester McCoy as Dr. Angus MacLaggy and Ingrid Oliver as Gaynor Garfield.
What is Father Brown Season 12 about?
Each episode of Father Brown will feature a new case as we follow Father Brown solving crimes across the Cotswolds, and we’re sure the new season of the show will introduce even more mysteries, villains and plot twists that we never expected.
As the series is based on G.K. Chesterton’s short stories, there are surely some mysteries in these classic works that are yet to be solved. As for what happens to some of the characters, we can expect that after Sullivan proposes to Mrs. Devine, the wedding will take place or wedding plans will be approaching.
Her son Eddie was framed for murder after surprising her in Kembleford in the last season finale, but it was all resolved.
One thing is for sure, the upcoming seasons will definitely showcase Father Brown’s warm and caring character as he constantly strives to get to the bottom of the mysterious events plaguing his parish.
Is there a trailer for Father Brown season 12?
Sit back and watch! As the series is still in production, there’s no trailer yet, but first looks, sneak peeks and more should be coming soon, so keep an eye on this space.
