Fresh from solving a dastardly festive fatality in the 2024 Christmas Special, the crew of The Good Ship Murder season 2 return to get to the bottom of more suspicious deaths, with plenty of personal baggage in tow, in the second outing for this popular cosy crime series.

Starring Shayne Ward as former detective turned cruise ship crooner Jack Grayling, and Catherine Tyldesley as First Officer Kate Woods, the show is very much Channel 5’s answer to Death In Paradise. And like that murder mystery juggernaut, there’s a fine balance achieved here between brutal murder, soapy drama and comedy hijinks.

Season 2 sees Jack ramp up his efforts to woo Kate, planning a romantic evening at the opera in Rome. However, the arrival of Jack’s estranged daughter – and her plan to reunite him with his soon-to-be-ex-wife – sends that plan out to sea. Not to mention the murder of one of the opera troupe. Later in the season, Jack will have to grapple with the reemergence of a notorious criminal from his detective days, while investigating the murder of one of his henchmen. You don’t get that on P&O.

Ready to add some sunshine into those dark January nights? Here's how to watch The Good Ship Murder Season 2 from anywhere in the world.

How to watch The Good Ship Murder Season 2 from anywhere with a VPN

If you're traveling outside the UK, you can watch The Good Ship Murder season 2 on the My5 streaming service by using a VPN – no matter where you are in the world!

Normally a streaming service will know where you are trying to tune in from and block you if you're not in the right country but a Virtual Private Network (VPN) is an app that hides your location. That means you can access your usual sports and entertainment services even while you're traveling abroad.

Our favorite VPN is NordVPN, which is the no. 1-rated VPN in the world right now according to our sister site, TechRadar.
