“Shetland ss 7”: release date, announcement

Fans of the TV series “Shetland” are following the news very closely, so they know that even before the release of Season 6, the filmmakers announced the production of two more seasons. It’s just too early to talk about the release date, because due to the coronavirus pandemic it is difficult to talk about the timing.

At the moment, it is known that season 7 of the detective drama “Shetland” is scheduled to launch on August 10, 2022.

Plot

How did it all start? Immediately after arriving, Jimmy learns of the death of an elderly woman, Mima, who has been living alone. Relatives often visited her, and excavations were carried out near the house, in which she herself took part. On the day before her death, the woman was looking at photographs of her deceased husband, but a knock on the door forced her to leave the house. Mima was shot when she was outside.

The body was discovered by her grandson, who worked as a police officer. He came in the morning to visit her. The guy quickly phoned Perez and reported the incident. The officers who arrived at the scene did not receive any leads, and only the girls who carried out the excavations gave the detective several clues, from which he began to work out various versions.

Sadly, Hattie James, a fossil explorer near Mima’s home, was found dead the next day. In her hand she was clutching an amulet, given to her the day before by the murdered old woman. Few people knew that Hattie had a lover who was involved in this dark story. Jimmy spent a lot of time in order to find him, and then figure out who the criminal is.

Each crime lasts several episodes, during which viewers have time to get used to the characters and even understand the motives of the criminals. Many facts from the life of Perez also become known to us. He sees that his daughter is not happy with the prospect of being on a god-forsaken island and realizes that the girl will soon leave her father’s house.

For 6 seasons, Jimmy has repeatedly been in the balance of death, solved many murders, put dozens of criminals behind bars, and even managed to move briefly. But the homeland, as before, calls him back. Even Cassie, from a young schoolgirl, has long been transformed into a wonderful adult.

Mary, Perez’s mother, died not long ago. Cassie and Jimmy were forced to look after their grandfather, because he refused to eat and pretended not to accept the death of his wife. And recently, a local lawyer was shot on the doorstep of his own house, and now Perez must solve household problems and find the culprit. But what awaits him this time?
