**New York, NY** – BritBox is bringing the hugely popular British mystery series “Ludwig” to US audiences this Thursday. Starring comedian David Mitchell, the show captivated nearly 10 million viewers in the UK, becoming the BBC’s most successful new scripted program in years.
“Ludwig” follows John, a reclusive crossword puzzle genius (played by Mitchell), who lives a solitary life creating brain teasers under the pseudonym Ludwig. His life is thrown into turmoil when his identical twin brother, James – a police detective – disappears, leaving behind a cryptic note for his wife, Lucy (Anna Maxwell Martin). John must use his unique intellect to unravel the mystery surrounding his brother’s vanishing.
The series is described as having a unique, upbeat aesthetic, even amidst its murder mystery premise. Mitchell himself was drawn to the script’s “fun” tone, despite its darker elements. The show promises a blend of clever puzzles, endearing characters, and a compelling whodunit that will keep viewers guessing until the very end.
