This is not a re-tread, per se. This is a re-imagining (which could be awful, but I will withhold judgment for at least a couple of episodes). This series is set in present-day Paris, and Maigret is a younger man, although apparently already a Chief Inspector. He is also already married to Mme. Maigret, thank heavens. There will be Juges d’Instruction for him to clash with, and the general preference for conformity for him to buck. Maigret is played by Benjamin Wainwright, and at least one of his detectives that we are familiar with, Janvier played by Shaniqua Okwok.
Six episodes are apparently to be shown, at least to start with. I am hoping for the best for this series, and I will have a beer and sandwiches ready to eat as I watch.
