McDonald & Dodds is a British television crime drama series, based in the British city of Bath, that stars Tala Gouveia and Jason Watkins as mismatched detectives, DCI Lauren McDonald & DS Dodds. Created and principally written by screenwriter Robert Murphy, the series follows streetwise ex-London cop McDonald, as she arrives in Bath to head up the local CID, and is partnered with Dodds, a shy, modest cop who has not seen street action in over ten years.Originally commissioned under the working title Invisible, a pair of films were shot during the summer of 2019, which make up the basis of the first series, broadcast in March 2020. Strong viewing figures saw a second series commissioned for 2021 and was shown in February 2021. A third series was later confirmed and was broadcast in June 2022. In March 2023, ITV announced that the show was renewed for a fourth series, which is scheduled to air in 2024.
