MAIGRET

Chief Inspector Jules Maigret, the invention of former crime reporter turned prolific author Georges Simenon, inhabits a vividly realized Paris not often seen on camera that takes us from the glitzy upper-class world of luxury hotels and mansions to local bourgeois bistros and bars and the underground haunts of the professionally criminal.

Patrick Harbinson’s contemporary adaptation reframes Maigret as an unconventional young detective with something to prove the Police Judiciaire, relentless in his investigations and with a matchless knowledge of Paris and its inhabitants. Faithfully and lovingly married to Madame Maigret, Maigret heads the elite police unit known as La Crim, responsible for investigating all serious crime in and around Paris.

Maigret premieres October 5th at 9/8c on Masterpiece on PBS.
