      Shetland Season 4 needs to be released now. It makes no sense to wait til 2018. People may lose interest. If you have series shows, the following seasons should start streaming sooner than later.

    4. Sherry Jenkins Preston

      Just finished binge watching first 3 seasons & can’t wait for Season 4 release. It is so refreshing to watch crime/mystery without all the guns & violence as in US TV. Also fun to see actors who also appeared in the Outlander series.

    5. Jeanne

      Would LOVE to see Season 4 of Shetland in 2017 please

    6. linda

      Love netflix…love Shetland…LOVE…LOVE…LOVE JIMMY PEREZ! PLEASE SEASON FOUR (4) BY SUMMER 2017

    7. Lori

      Stunningly beautiful show
      Great acting that leaves you wanting more

    8. bjorg

      Season 4 need to be released on Netflix ASAP

    9. Richard

      Yes, this is not your bang-bang cop show. The setting of the show is in so remote a location, an idyllic setting. Good and evil, good wins out all the time (or usually). We get the impression people are friendly, which we all like, except when you get to Aberdeen or Glasgow, where crime is organized. Netflix helps the flight from reality by automatically going from episode to episode. I frequently get those computer messages from Netflix asking me if I’m still watching — as a matter of fact, I am.

    10. Ronna

      I love this show and cannot wait for Season 4 next April. Yea!!👏! I just finished the Season 6 Longmire.❤️ I am going to miss that show as it was so good. 👍

    11. Linda Boggetti

      Would love to see Shetland season 4 just as soon as it is available! One of my favorite programs, really exceptionally good to program!

  7. Donna

    Please release season 4 of Shetland ASAP. Don’t wait ’til 2018

  16. Partha Ray

    Enjoying every episode. What a lovely photography, regional theme music, photography, expert story telling and lastly gripping suspense without the gory details, blood, overuse (practically any use) of gun. Every character, main or the supporting, has been playing its role superbly. Overall rating 5/5. Thanks to everyone including BBC for producing such a wonderful movie.

    1. Al

      Well said! I too admire all these elements so very much. Eager (panting!) for season 4 and, if the fates are kind, 5 &6.

  17. Olga

    If season 4 is out. Plz bring it, don’t wait. Not fair for those of us that love the series.

  29. Kitty

  30. Kitty

    I agree. Why wait til 2018?! Put it in Netflix now. Such a good show!

    Netflix needs to get season 4 of Shetland now. No excuses.

  32. Carmen

  33. Tina Tierson

    Please don’t wait a year, Netflix! Shetland is the best show I’ve seen in years, streaming and otberwise.

  34. Kmh

    Wonderful show. Just started watching and I am heading into season 3 today so of course I vote yes to bringing on Season 4 asap. Went to Scotland as a kid and its making me want to go back–minus the dark parts of the show of course. But loving the scenery and cultural aspects that are included as well as interesting plots with good twists.

  35. Diane

    A year to wait is too long. It saddens me that Netflix takes so long to bring out shows to stream.

  36. Tess

    Love Shetland….Eating like peanuts!! MUST HAVE MORE!!

  37. Lyn

    My husband I are on season 3 and are also hooked- would definitely watch season 4 and any thereafter on Netflix so please release as soon as possible!

  38. James Goldcamp

    Please release season 4 of Shetland. It’s one of the best shows we’ve seen on Netflix.

  39. Christi Ulrich

    Just binged Shetland this week. I am not sure what I am supposed to do now. Feels like I lost Wallender all over again. Wish we could develop such series in the US. please don’t make us wait until 2018, I will be forced back into romantic comedy hell.

  40. Judy

    Stream it now. Do not want to wait until 2018.

  41. John Trevvett

    When I run out of good BBC content on Netflix I am forced to search elsewhere ….. pretty frustrating but I can source it from another network in most cases ……

  42. Sara Mary

    Shetland is everything you could ever ask for in a British murder crime series! Please oh please release Series 4 as soon as it’s available–your subscribers will (clearly, based on the other comments) thank you heartily for it!!

  43. Jon Verrill

    I like some here, just happened on Shetland a few days ago. The wife and I watched all three series in a few days. Would love series four soon, but, when it airs, we would watch the the whole thing and then be in the same place.
    Thanks BBC for a wonderful Who Done It series. Series three left us hanging until the very end. Great Show!

  44. Sue

    Don’t make us wait for the fourth season

  45. Patricia Kemp

    Shetland is a fabulous show! Can’t wait for season 4. The sooner the better.

  46. Wendy

  47. Mary Ann Johnson

    Yes would lvoe to see season 4 on in 2017 On the last two on season 3.

  48. Ken Brinton

    Season 4 Shetland ASAP on Netflix, please!

  50. Barb Michelutti

    Please release Shetland Season 4 NOW!!! I Love this series and the characters. June or July of 2017 would be my preference. And get busy with Season 5.

  51. Eileen

    I don’t want to wait a year. It’s so hard to wait a year. But then I’d have to wait a year for season 5 anyway. Sigh. I hate when my binge watch shows come to an end, even when just for a year.

  52. Becky Edwards

    How about before April 2018? Sorry it ended….ready for more.

  53. Rondi

    Show us season 4 in 2017! We can’t wait a year!

  54. Barbara

    I just finished all three seasons and can’t wait a second longer for Season 4!

  55. M. N.

    Whether 2017 or 2018 we’ll be anxiously waiting for Season 4. A great series and I love the dialect.

  56. Gail

    Another BRILLIANT program/series from the BBC. Thoroughly enjoyed it. The writing and plot lines are outstanding. I look forward to the release of Season 4. I have to give NETFLIX a super high five for all the great programming they have been offering, not just the ones they are producing. Especially the foreign series that have been popping up. Great work, NETFLIX. We worth the 9.99 per month!

  57. Sheri lahris

    Too long a wait for season 4.
    2018 is too long!!!

  62. Deb G

    The quality of the acting, depth of character development and team relationships is superb – and what is a hallmark of the BBC series shows in general. Thank you for bringing Shetland to Netflix and let it be soon that we see Season 4.

  63. TMF

    Just discovered Shetland and watched on a rainy weekend. My husband and I loved it. The scenery is fabulous. The acting is superb. Love the plot lines. Please don’t make us wait another year to see season 4.
    Netflix is the only thing we use our tv for anymore.

    1. Claudia

      My husband and I also watch Netflix with a dose of BBC and PBS and OPB (Oregon Public Broadcasting). We have Direct TV for some unknown reason here in Sedona, AZ but watch Netflix more often.

  64. Gary &Jacqueline

    Love Shetland! Hope we don’t have to wait until 2018. For season 4,

  65. Kieran

    Shetland is a great series! The 4th season should be on Netflix this year, preferably now!

  66. Lisa Wilson

    I’m obsessed! Please release season 4 soon.

  67. Sandra K

    Can’t wait for season 4 of Shetland, Netflix! Please post it in 2017 or we viewers may drift away before 2018. Keep us watching!

  68. Freda

    HOOKED! please don’t make me wait till next year!

  69. A ONeil

    What we need is for the BBC to stream service of current shows in the US. The only answer I can ever find, is that the UK won’t allow connectivity direct to the US because of ensuring payment for subscribing. I think it’s the cable monopoly here that’s controlling the access & making ‘rules’ to prevent it from happening. BBC shows & other shows from around the world that are available on Netflix are popular because they’re usually really good. If the programs made here were the same, more people would be watching.

  70. Krista

    Wait a year?! This is terrible news!!! I feel like going to London to be able to watch Season 4 faster! The characters are that good! (and each season only got better, in my opinion which is rare for me) Bravo!

  71. B.R. MacDonald

    One the best shows I have ever watched on Netflix. You can’t beat the acting, scenery and the background music. Bring back Tosh and maybe Jimmy and the forensic scientist from the mainland can start something. You have got to love Scotland! Please, Season 4 before the end of summer!

  72. Stephanie

    Yes, yes season 4 very soon….please!

  73. Sally

    Just discovered this show and am already addicted! So, already, I can see it will be hard to wait for season 4!

  74. Sherm

    Really getting tired of waiting.

  75. Cheryl Henley

    Love this series. REALLY wish Shetland Season 4 could be on Netflix ASAP (not that viewer opinion seems to matter much with the organizations we depend on).

  76. Burns Fam

    Please give us more Shetland! Can’t wait for Season 4!

  77. Bill Kap

    We are ready for season 4.. we are getting better (slowly) at understanding the Scottish accent.. It’s kind of English and a lot not but we love it…

  78. Bill Kap

    We are ready for season 4.. we are getting better (slowly) at understanding the Scottish accent.. It’s kind of English and a lot of it not, but we love it… Folks in the UK really know how to make a murder mystery…

  79. K8

    Just watched last episode of season 3 and miss Perez already!!

  80. Dana

    Add my name to the list of people who want Shetland season 4 ASAP!
    Such wonderful acting and scenery, and believable, compelling characters. I was riveted throughout seasons 1-3. Thx BBC and Netflix!

  81. Chas Brandich Jr

    Watching Shetland just proves there really really is great writing for drama and suspense still available on the tele…The sense of the islands can be felt in your whole self…What a great actor is Douglas Henshall

  82. Trisha

    I’m watching Shetland for the third time, and am very ready for season 4. I love this series, more depth and less special effects.

  83. Sally Hensold Hundley

    The acting and writing on this show are really high caliber. I am thrilled that there is another season on the way. I don’t usually watch mysteries twice, but I will make an exception in this case while I am waiting for the new season.

  84. Tom

    Just finished first three seasons. Agree with all the positive comments

  85. Walt Wadlow

    Please, please hurry with the new season!

    Please bring Shetland back before 2018 and don’t let Tosh leave the series. Each one of the characters are needed on this show.

    Thank you for bringing it to Netflix

  90. Pict McScroggin

    Och, 2018??? Yer bum’s oot the windae, yer feckin bampot. Yer talkin mince. Awa’ an bile yer heid……..

  93. Jean

    Love love this show. Cant wait for season 4!!!

  94. Quinn Waters

    Everything from the characters to the setting is different and wonderful about Shetland. It’s great to know that more episodes are coming in the future, but sad that we have to wait until April of 2018 to see the new episodes.
    Quinn

  95. Ivana S

    I need a fix of detective Perez sooner than that!!! And I need to know will Tosh stay or go?!?! Can not wait for April 2018!! Make it sooner than that please!

  96. K Troy

    I so agree with all the previous comments about this show. I just discovered it a couple of weeks ago and watched all three seasons in a few days. The writing, acting and surrounding atmosphere are so suspenseful and well done. They treat the viewer in a very intelligent way and keep you in suspense until the end, so well done. Will be waiting for season 4!!!

  97. Lori Riley

    I can’t wait!

  98. Lynn

    Please speed up release of Shetland series 4! We love the series and want more like it!

  99. Catriona

    I hate to break it to you, but even those of us who live in Scotland are still waiting for Series 4 to air on the BBC. First it was going to be last autumn, then December, then January … and still no sightings in the schedule. So if Netflix don’t show it until a year after its BBC premiere, then it’s going to be 2019 before you see it! No idea why they’re keeping us all on tenterhooks like this … not fair!

    1. Dana

      No no no say it isn’t so! 😥
