Ludwig Season 2 Synopsis
Ludwig Season 2 is a new season of the detective comedy-drama series that focuses on John Taylor taking on a new role as a crime scene consultant while still trying to find out what happened to his missing twin brother, James.

The new season puts John at the centre of several unusual investigations, including a murder at a theatre, a case involving a wedding party, and the death of an influencer in Cambridge.
