Professor T will officially return for Season 6. Lead actor Ben Miller has confirmed that the production team has begun initial preparations. The new season promises a perfect blend of dark mysteries, satirical humor, and the complex psychological depth of the characters
solving puzzles, as Professor T has been renewed for Season 6
Ben Miller himself confirmed that the team is already at work on the new series, which means there’s plenty more prickly genius, darkly comic crime, and emotionally messy character development on the way – even as fans in different countries are still catching up on earlier seasons!
And yes, we know Season 4 hasn’t aired in the UK yet and Season 5 hasn’t aired in the US or Australia yet, but they are on the way…
Professor T follows Jasper Tempest, an obsessive‑compulsive Cambridge criminologist whose brilliant but rigid mind makes him both the police’s secret weapon and their worst nightmare.
Dragged into real‑world investigations by his former student, he uses behavioral insight, statistics, and a ruthless eye for human weakness to crack cases everyone else finds impossible.
Across the seasons, the show mixes properly twisty, often dark cases with Jasper’s battles with OCD, his fraught relationship with his formidable mother, and the complicated personal lives of the rest of the team.
In a May 2026 TV appearance, Ben Miller told fans that Professor T “is coming back” and that they’re actively working on Season 6, following earlier news that the series had already been renewed through Season 5.
