Maigret, the first contemporary television adaptation of Georges Simenon’s beloved novels about the streetwise Parisian Chief Inspector Jules Maigret is coming soon to PBS. Jules Maigret will be played by Benjamin Wainwright, and Stefanie Martini stars as Madame Louise Maigret. Blake Harrison, Reda Elazouar, Kerrie Hayes, Shaniqua Okwok, and Rob Kazinsky make up the “Les Maigrets,” Maigret’s loyal team of detectives, with Nathalie Armin set to play Prosecutor Mathilde Kernavel. Chief Inspector Jules Maigret, the invention of former crime reporter turned prolific author Georges Simenon, inhabits a vividly realized Paris not often seen on camera that takes us from the glitzy upper-class world of luxury hotels and mansions to local bourgeois bistros and bars and the underground haunts of the professionally criminal. Patrick Harbinson’s adaptation reframes Maigret as an unconventional young detective with something to prove the Police Judiciaire, relentless in his investigations, chasing and a matchless knowledge of Paris and its inhabitants. Faithfully and lovingly married to Madame Maigret, Maigret heads the elite police unit known as La Crim, responsible for investigating all serious crime in and around Paris. The Jules Maigret series is the second best-selling detective series ever, behind only Sherlock Holmes.
