Buckle up for season two of Ludwig because it's bringing even more drama and bizarre plot twists than ever before! In this British detective series, you can expect to see more of the main character, John "Ludwig" Taylor, and his risky heists and impulsive decisions, which make him both brilliant and kind of questionable.
Ludwig is a professional creator of word puzzles. In the first season, he goes undercover as his missing twin brother, who is a detective. While searching for clues as to why his brother disappeared, he realizes that legal mysteries are just like puzzles, so he is more than capable of cracking cases.
The first season of Ludwig is made up of six installments. It debuted in the United Kingdom on September 2024 on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. About six months later, in March 2025, it became available on BritBox. Here's what to know about the upcoming season two of Ludwig. You won't want to miss a moment of mystery-solving!

A premiere date for the second season of Ludwig has not yet been announced. It will likely be released in the fall of 2025 or possibly early 2026.
If the release schedule in the United States follows the same timeline as season one, then season two could premiere in the U.S. about six months after its release in the United Kingdom.
The scripts are currently being written, and shooting was planned for this year, although it's unclear if any filming has begun so far.
