  • Airing 10/5/2025 @ 9:00 PM

Maigret is investigating a series of bank robberies that have been plaguing Paris. He ignores his superior’s orders and turns his attention to the brutal murder of a burglar, Honoré Cuendet. His decision to juggle both cases puts his career in jeopardy, but he continues to seek justice for the slain thief. Just as he is closing in on Cuendet’s killers, the bank robbers strike again.

Chief Inspector Maigret and his team of maverick but loyal detectives, “Les Maigrets,” solve a series of complex crimes in Paris. Maigret’s unconventional methods and unique sense of justice put him at odds with his superiors and the judicial system he is supposed to represent. Maigret must outwit some of Paris’s most cunning and violent criminals, while dealing with his own troubled past.

Benjamin Wainwright (Belgravia: The Next ChapterLord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim) and Stefanie Martini (The GoldLast KingdomEmerald City) star in the first contemporary television adaptation of Georges Simenon’s beloved novels about the streetwise Parisian Chief Inspector Jules Maigret.
