The second season of cozy detective series Sister Boniface Mysteries has found itself another streaming home.
The first three seasons of the Father Brown spin-off are available on U, but now the second season has joined BBC iPlayer as well, after season 2 episode 1 aired on BBC One yesterday afternoon.
Set in the 1960s in the aptly-named village of Great Slaughter, the show follows a nun who puts her doctorate in forensic science to good use in solving weekly crimes.

The cases in season 2 include deaths at a talent show, a chess championship, at a pirate radio station, and on the stage during a performance.

When the season 2 BBC One/iPlayer date was announced, season 1 had been removed from the service.
The good news is season 1 has returned to iPlayer to join its follow-up. The bad news is that both seasons will be removed from iPlayer in five months’ time.
Meanwhile, a fourth season premiered just last week in the US on BritBox. It doesn’t have a UK release date at the time of writing.

On IMDB, viewers have called the show “unexpectedly spirited” with “wonderfully clichéd” characters. One fan wrote: “It’s light, it’s funny, it looks beautiful, some wonderful guest actors, and a nice regular cast.”
Meanwhile, parent show Father Brown announced a whole host of soap stars for guest roles in its upcoming season (which recently wrapped up filming).
Sister Boniface Mysteries seasons 1 and 2 can be streamed on BBC iPlayer, while seasons 1-3 can be streamed on U. Season 4 does not currently have a UK release date.
