BBC’s Father Brown season 12 is on the way and fans are keen to know when it will be released and who will star in it.
It’s been nearly a year since Father Brown last graced our screens on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, with the grand finale seeing Chief Inspector Sullivan (portrayed by Tom Chambers) finally proposing to Mrs Devine (Claudie Blakley).
Naturally, when the beloved crime drama returns, we can expect Roman Catholic priest Father Brown (Mark Williams) to resume his duties and investigate the latest happenings in the 1950s-set village as wedding preparations get underway.

Father Brown season 12 plot
Father Brown, the beloved sleuth of Kembleford, is returning for its 12th season, and there’s an official synopsis that’s just been released to whet fans’ appetites before the series kicks off.
The synopsis teases: “Following the exciting proposal at the end of series 11, the sleepy village of Kembleford is abuzz with good news, as Mrs Devine and Chief Inspector Sullivan look forward to their upcoming wedding.
“But when a surprise visit from the father of the groom quickly throws preparations into turmoil, will they even make it to the church?”
As the plot thickens, it promises: “With a medieval death at a Tudor battle reenactment, Mrs Devine finding herself accused of murder, Sergeant Goodfellow’s professional future thrown into question and Brenda ballroom dancing on national television, Father Brown and the gang are busier than ever.
“And when a cardinal from the Vatican arrives with a top-secret mission for Father Brown, the priest must request the help of his old adversary Flambeau, while a new nemesis lurks in the shadows.”
