Where Can Fans See Midsomer Murders Season 21?

One of the biggest questions fans want to know is where they can watch the series. Netflix stopped airing Midsomer Murders starting October 1. Acorn TV and Britbox both currently air the series. Britbox and Acorn will both release the first episode of Midsomer Murders Season 21 on December 1 in North America.

Acorn already has a lot of British and Australian programming including Agatha Raisin. Britbox is a streaming service from the BBC and ITV and they already air Shakespeare & Hathaway. They will soon be adding Doctor Who in December, as well as a lot of other wonderful BBC, ITV and TV4 productions.

As for when the new season will be released in the U.K., Europe and in other parts of the world, that remains to be seen. According to Deadline, BritBox U.K. will be airing the final two unaired Season 20 episodes before ITV airs them, as an incentive to get people to sign up with the streaming service. As for the rest of the world, it is likely that Season 21 episodes will air sometime in summer 2020.
