Acorn TV, Channel 5 Order More The Madame Blanc Mysteries

AMC Networks’ Acorn TV and Channel 5 have renewed the crime drama The Madame Blanc Mysteries for a fourth season.

Created by and starring Sally Lindsay, the series is a co-production by Clapperboard (The Good Ship Murder) and Saffron Cherry Productions (The World According to Grandpa). The 7×60-minute fourth season will include a Christmas special, set to debut on Acorn TV and Channel 5 in 2024, while the rest of the series will air in 2025.

Acorn Media Enterprises acts as international distributor, holding exclusive rights worldwide, except for the U.K. and Northern Ireland. The fourth season is directed by Dermot Boyd.

Lindsay commented: “I think if you had told me five years ago when I came up with the idea of Madame Blanc that in the not-too-distant future our show would be not only a hit in the United Kingdom but America, Australia and Canada (to name but a few), I would have been astounded. But, amazingly, it is! And our team could not be more thrilled to bring you a brand-new season of sunshine, laughs and antiques. All the gang are back with some more fantastic surprise guests visiting St. Victoire, and we can’t wait for you all to enjoy soon.”

Catherine Mackin, managing director for Acorn Media Enterprises, added: “This series continues to delight from start to finish, and we’re elated by the Acorn TV audiences’ warm and highly committed embrace of Jean White and her community of clever, self-made investigators. We are all in for a treat as we return to the stunning Sainte Victoire for a slew of intriguing new cases in need of solving.”

Greg Barnett, commissioning editor for Channel 5, commented: “The Madame Blanc Mysteries has won over the hearts of our audience, and we can’t wait to say ‘Bonjour’ to our Sainte Victoire favourites once again. The crime rates may be sky-high in this village, but we’re in great hands with the brilliant Jean White and trusty sidekicks to crack every case.”

Andy Morgan, executive producer for Clapperboard, added: “The return of Madame Blanc for season four proves just how hugely popular a show it is. The new series will deliver even more gripping mysteries and unexpected twists from our amazing cast, alongside a host of fantastic guest stars. The show is as much fun to make as it is to watch, so we’re delighted to welcome viewers back to the charming world of Sainte Victoire.”
