With Ashley Jensen and Alison O’Donnell reprising their roles as Detectives Ruth Calder and Alison “Tosh” McIntosh, Shetland Season 9 features a double missing person’s case that “blurs the lines between the personal and the professional, as Calder and Tosh are drawn into a labyrinthine investigation,” the official synopsis tells us. “When Tosh’s friend, Annie Bett (Sarah MacGillivray), goes missing, Ruth Calder — now living in Shetland — has no time to recover from a life-threatening ordeal of her own, and instead teams with Tosh to search for Annie and her young son, Noah (Jacob Ferguson).

Elsewhere in Season 9, Calder delves deeper into a case involving a deadly argument between two brothers. that missing persons investigation draws her and Tosh into a web of lies — and when a bloodied person turns up at a remote garage, nothing can prepare the team for what lies ahead.
