Season seven marks the end of the road for Douglas Henshall as he prepares to step down as Perez.
Opening up on his character’s thrilling final investigation, he said: “I don’t think there’s a lot of shows like ours.
“It isn’t big and shouty, it’s subtle and quite nuanced. We’ve explored lots of things that TV shows don’t and I think all of those things are partly what kept our audience loyal to us. It’s wonderful.”
“One of the great good fortunes of Shetland is we’ve had so many great guests to come in over the years.”
Shetland airs on BBC One on Wednesday at 9pm.
