Good news, mystery fans! Baptiste, the spin-off of popular series The Missing that's slated to debut on PBS' Masterpiece this month has already been given the greenlight for a second season by the BBC.

The series features Turkish-born French actor Tchéky Karyo reprising his role as as the insightful and stubborn French detective Julien Baptiste in a story that takes place two years after the events of The Missing Season 2. Turns out that Baptiste's whole brain surgery situation apparently turned out fine, and that's really probably the only detail you need to know from the original series in order to enjoy this part-sequel/part companion series.

Karyo will (obviously) return for Season 2, and he'll be joined by Killing Eve's Fiona Shaw for a brand-new case which will take viewers into Budapest’s secretive and corrupt underworld.
