The series follows full-time luddite, John 'Ludwig' Taylor, as he assumes the identity of his missing twin brother in a bid to track him down and bring him home. However, filling the shoes of your identical twin is one thing - when your twin also happens to be a successful DCI leading Cambridge's busy inner-city major crimes team the stakes are much higher. John may be a master of all things cryptic, but can he crack the biggest puzzle of his life?
Sorry, no info about the next episode of Ludwig (2023) is available yet.
The TV show is either in vacation or waiting to start their new season. When information about future episodes becomes available, it will be posted here.
i rather liked this season.
a play on the deduction of sherlock homes
where reason can solve any crime or puzzle
much better then many sherlock ripoffs or "mysterys"
that can never be solved until the writer give out
the critical clue that solves the crime.
(although that happens also. ( i hate that boondoggle,
how do you solve something without ALL the info. frustrating))
in this show they give you the critical thinking required
to solve the crime.
the only issue i have with the show, is that if it was so dangerous for the missing twin to be around( and maybe his family to be around), anyone impersonating him would also be in danger, and while they do mention that, it never goes anywhere

"a brilliantly bonkers twist on a very popular format - the murder mystery"
Season 1 was anything but a run-of-the-mill comedy detective show, more use of "intelligent" comedy (David Mitchell style) than similar series. I'm glad it's been renewed.
"The BBC has confirmed there WILL be a series 2 of Ludwig, and it's already started filming, currently in production. BBC One has revealed there'll be some new famous faces joining the line-up, as well as some other exciting plot news.
The synopsis tells us: “Picking up from where things were left at the end of series 1, master puzzle-setter John 'Ludwig' Taylor is now a Crime Scene Consultant working on 'impossible' crimes for the Cambridge Police Authority. No longer having to masquerade as his brother, he's openly more 'Ludwig' than ever – brilliant at solving puzzles but hopeless at everything else.”
However, viewers of series 1 will know that John's identical twin brother is still missing. And now that John is an official employee of the station, he's forbidden from using any police resources to look for James or uncover exactly what he was investigating…
Of course, we all know that won't stop John at all – or Lucy, his sister-in-law and wife of his missing brother.
Joining the cast as series regulars are Mark Bonnar as newspaper editor, Gareth Fisher. The Scottish actor recently appeared in Dept. Q, and will soon star in Celebrity Traitors. He's also famous for his roles in Guilt, Shetland, Line of Duty, and Unforgotten.
Lastly, Sian Clifford joins the cast as local MP, Joanne Kemper. Of course, Fleabag fans will know her best for playing long-suffering sister Claire.
Completing the cast of newcomers will be Hijack's Ben Ashenden as DC Ethan Cole, and relative newcomer Rumi Sutton as DC Caitlin Sullivan.
Ludwig series 2 will be six episodes of an hour each. This follows on from series 1, which followed the same format.
The upcoming episodes are expected to land on BBC One and BBC iPlayer in 2026." Copyright: TVGuide.co.uk
