About Shetland
Shetland follows island police with Jimmy Perez through 7 series from 2013 to 2022. Early series set Tosh, Sandy and Duncan with Red Bones motives and sea mist. Later Perez runs close his family arc with Donna and Meg shifts.
Series 8 from 2023 brings Ruth Calder, while series 9 from 2024 hands the lead to Tosh and Logan after Perez exits. The show stays open with BBC renewals into 2025. Watch in broadcast order to meet each lead handover cleanly, since island trust spans series even when cases close fast.
Good to know
Cases can be sampled, but watch the Perez to Calder to Logan moves in order. Perez exit only lands with the full run seen, so skipping breaks the handover. Start with series 1 to learn island rules, then take later leads freely. New series keep getting ordered, so treat the show as open as of September 2026.
