Is The Witchfinder coming back?

The Witchfinder ended on March 8, 2022, on BBC iPlayer. The show concluded after its first season, which consisted of six episodes. There are no upcoming episodes scheduled, and the series has finished its run.

The series was a comedy set in 1647 during a time when fear of witchcraft was widespread. It followed a failing witchfinder who was transporting a suspected witch across 1640s East Anglia to a trial that might have changed his fortunes. The journey became complicated by his captive, an inquisitive and uncouth woman whose questions and attitude challenged his authority, turning what should have been a straightforward trip into a transformative experience.

The cast included Tim Key as Gideon Bannister and Daisy May Cooper as Thomasine Gooch. The show had a rating of 5.9 on TVMaze and each episode had a runtime of approximately 29 minutes.
