Father Brown'sLady Felicia star has given fans an exclusive glimpse into the joyous atmosphere on set during the filming of series 13.

The beloved BBC drama, which features former Harry Potter actor Mark Williams as the local crime-solving priest, delighted audiences earlier this year with another series of enigmas for Father Brown to unravel.

Season 12 concluding on an emotional high note as Chief Inspector Edgar Sullivan and Mrs Isabel Devine-portrayed by Tom Chambers and Claudie Blakley respectively-exchanged vows in the touching series finale.

Fans have since been eagerly anticipating more escapades from Kembleford's charismatic characters since April 2024 when series 13 was announced.

Now with production in full swing, Nancy Carroll, who plays the Countess of Montague, has taken to Instagram enchanting her followers with candid shots featuring her fellow cast members.

Among the behind-the-scenes imagery shared by Carroll are photos showcasing her alongside the show's leading man Williams, young star Ruby May Martinwood of Brenda fame, Sergeant Goodfellow actor John Burton, and, not least, never failing to charm, the beaming Chambers and a contented snapshot with Blakley, Kembleford's very own Mrs Devine.

The captions accompanying these treasured snapshots reflect Carroll's delight: "Been in Kembleford-land for the last few weeks.

"Utter utter joy as always. #fatherbrown SERIES 13! ? ! ? ! Who knew? ? ? ?"

Father Brown enthusiasts were overjoyed, flooding the comment section with their elation at the recently released snaps.

"Fantastic photos. So lovely to have you back, if only for a while. Love Father Brown!" exclaimed one delighted fan.

Another eager follower commented: "I can't wait to see the new season...love you all", while someone else joyfully proclaimed: "Hurray for another Father Brown series!"

And one more simply expressed: "Love it! ! What a wonderful show and cast."

Though an official launch date is still under wraps, whispers suggest that we could expect season 13 of Father Brown to grace our screens as early as January 2026.
