A new Rebus?


 I caught a snippet this morning  because my dog woke me at 3.30AM! (Chewing her feet in that noisy way she has developed during this grass pollen season). Had she not, I might have missed the news that Viaplay, a Scandinavian streaming giant, is filming Rebus.

Ian Rankin dropped this snippet, so I assume it is true. Richard Rank of Outlander fame is to play a re-imagined, 30-year-old, recently de-moted Sergeant Rebus in modern Edinburgh with modern day stories.

I adored Ken Stott's portrayal and frankly I can't see it being bettered. I'll be keen to watch it when the new version is released in the UK in 2024.

Stott's voice was so distinctive it was recognisable anywhere.
