Masterpiece on PBS has just unveiled the first look at Benjamin Wainwright (Belgravia: The Next Chapter) as Paris’s most renowned detective, Chief Inspector Jules Maigret, in the upcoming contemporary adaptation of Maigret. Based on Georges Simenon’s iconic novels, PBS have put a new spin on the legendary sleuth, as the upcoming series repositions him as an up and coming star in the Police Judiciaire — someone who is methodical, voracious in his approach, and with a knack of getting inside the minds of criminals. It’s the first time the character of Maigret has been adapted in a modern setting, which should make it one of the most anticipated crime series on the horizon.
