Shetland Season 4 Premiere Date: Perez Solves Longstanding Mystery About A Teenage Girl's Death
After what seems to be a long wait, BBC One's mystery police drama "Shetland" finally returns for season 4.
According to the synopsis for episode 1 that will be aired on Tuesday, Feb. 13, Thomas Malone (Stephen Walters) will return to Shetland after spending time behind bars for 23 years for the killing of the teenage girl named Lizzie Kilmuir even if he claims that he was not responsible for the crime.
Even if most of the residents of Shetland believe that Malone was really guilty of committing the murder, the granting of his appeal and his release could mean that someone might be the real culprit for the crime. However, a local journalist named Sally McColl was found dead as soon as Malone arrived in the island. This means that Detective Inspector Jimmy Perez (Douglas Henshall) and his team will have to work hard to solve both Lizzie and Sally's cases and lock the right killer in jail.
