Find out who the Hello Ladies star will play - and with whom he'll mess - when the detective show returns.
In an exclusive revelation, TVLine has learned that Stephen Merchant will be joining the cast of Ludwig for its upcoming second season. Merchant, known for his work on Hello Ladies and The Office, will portray Danny Sloane, a boastful snooker champion in conflict with the series' protagonist, John. The detective series will return to the streaming platform this fall, alongside returning stars David Mitchell and Anna Maxwell Martin, as well as new regulars Mark Bonnar, Sian Clifford, Rumi Sutton, and Ben Ashenden.
Merchant's character, Sloane, will appear in Episode 4 of Season 2, working alongside police officers DC Caitlin Sullivan and DC Ethan Cole. As John Taylor, Ludwig will now consult on complex crimes for the Cambridge Police Authority, while his twin brother James remains missing. John is prohibited from using police resources to find James, leaving the twin brothers to face their own set of challenges.
