Ben Miller and Frances de la Tour will return for the second instalment as respective characters Professor Jasper Tempest and his mother Adelaide, who are to seek help from a therapist, which will uncover more secrets from the titular character's troubled childhood.
Following the announcement, Ben said: "We’re incredibly grateful to the ITV and PBS audiences for taking 'Professor T' to their hearts, and we are actively plotting an even quirkier and uplifting season two.
"Expect more baffling crimes, more breath-taking scenery, and some answers to the most intriguing mystery of all: what is it, exactly, in his childhood, that makes the Professor tick?"
The second series will be filmed in Belgium and Cambridge during the spring of 2022.
Jo McGrath, Executive Producer and CCO of Eagle Eye Drama, said: "Ben Miller’s 'Professor T' has become a favourite with audiences in the UK, US and across the world.
"We’re absolutely thrilled to be making another series, reuniting a brilliant cast and strong production team.
"It’s a wonderfully warm and visually beautiful crime series which unusually manages to combine mystery, humour and poignancy within each episode. Audiences have embraced it’s distinctiveness and we look forward to surprising them again in the next season."
Elsewhere in series two, the Professor will continue to help the police solve unusual crimes, rekindling his former relationship with Chief Inspector Christina Brand (Juliet Aubrey).
What's more, his protégé, Inspector Lisa Donckers (Emma Naomi), will prioritise her career over her budding relationship with police partner Dan Winters (Barney White).
