Shetland series 8 cast: All the actors old and new, including EastEnders’ Don Gilet and Guilt’s Jamie Sives

Another great selection of guest actors join the series favourites

Shetland series 8 has landed on BBC One and, like previous years, has a pretty amazing cast of faces old and new.

Series favourite Alison O’Donnell returns as DS Alison ‘Tosh’ McIntosh and, this time, she is acting DI after the departure of Jimmy Perez.

Of course, after Douglas Henshall’s exit, Ashley Jensen has joined the cast as DI Ruth Calder, and the series looks very different these days. But despite the change of faces, it remains one of the best crime dramas on TV.
