It has been over a year since Agatha Raisin Season 4 was released. This series that stars Ashley Jensen as the former PR wizard, now Cotswolds sleuth is often compared to a comedic Midsomer Murders.

Recently, TV Shows Ace contacted a representative from AMC Networks, the parent company of Acorn TV to see if there is any news about a Season or as the Brits call it, Series 5. They responded, “There’s no news at this time.”

However, fans of the series may want to be up-to-date with some of the stars of the series. According to The Scotsman, Ashley Jensen is currently in her native Scotland filming Season 8 of Shetland.

In addition, Jason Merrells, who portrays Agatha’s occasional beau Sir Charles Fraith, has most recently been in Happy Valley. Jamie Glover, who portrays James Lacey, the man that Agatha still loves, has recently starred in Waterloo Road.

Although this series has not been greenlit, yet, this is a popular mystery series and Acorn TV may wait until they can gather the cast and start filming before making any sort of announcement.

Madame Blanc Season 3 Is Greenlit

Sleuthers have quickly become enamored with Sally Lindsay’s The Madame Blanc Mysteries on Acorn TV. The Coronation Street alum created this series, co-writes this series with co-star Sue Vincent (Gloria Beaushaw), and stars as Jean White, the antique expert. This quirky and comedic mystery has a huge following.

Taking place in the quaint French village of Sainte Victoire, a town where real and fake antiques are sold, Jean helps the police solve a cornucopia of murders and art thefts. Anyone who loves watching Antiques Roadshow or Pawn Stars will love all of the arty tidbits and history in this series.

This cozy mystery series is filmed in Gozo, part of the islands around Malta. There have been two seasons, will there be a third?

On Wednesday, Deadline reported that Acorn TV has greenlit six more episodes, plus a Christmas episode. They have just begun filming. Therefore, the holiday episode will air around Christmas 2023, while the six episodes of The Madame Blanc Mysteries Season 3 will air in 2024.

Expectedly, Sally Lindsay is thrilled. “I am truly humbled by the love for our show and can’t wait to give you lots more adventures.”

Will Acorn TV Renew My Life Is Murder For Season 4?

Lastly, Lucy Lawless stars in the fantastic My Life Is Murder. Will Acorn TV renew this mystery series for Season 4? Once again, TV Shows Ace contacted the folks at AMC Networks. Their representative said, “No news to share at this point.”

We will share news on My Life Is Murder, and Agatha Raisin once it becomes available. You can now stream all three mystery series on Acorn TV.
