There is good news for Shetland fans: the Scottish crime drama will not finish here, as Shetland season 10 is on the way, and was confirmed long back.
Shetland season 9 concluded its six-episode run on December 11. The season finale, which impressed some fans and disappointed many, finally ended Annie Bett's murder mystery, as it was made known to everyone that Noreen was the one who killed Bett.
Season 9's plot revolved around Annie Bett's murder. Bett was a close friend of Tosh, which made this case more intriguing. The end of season 9 not only solved this case but Tosh and Calder, who were merely partners in crime investigation, eventually became friends at the end.
