Acorn TV On Board Miss Fisher Spin-Offs

Acorn TV has signed on as the exclusive North American partner for the new movie Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears as well as the spin-off series set in the 1960s.

Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears continues the story from the Australian drama Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, which aired for three seasons from 2012 to 2015. Essie Davis (The Babadook, Game of Thrones) reprises her starring role as Miss Phryne Fisher in this 1920s-set mystery movie.

Ms Fisher’s Modern Murder Mysteries, licensed by all3media international, moves the action to the 1960s and follows Peregrine Fisher—played by Geraldine Hakewill (Wanted)—the niece of the famous Phryne Fisher.

Acorn TV will exclusively premiere the film and the Acorn TV Original series in North America in 2019 with the feature film also showing in select theaters.

Don Klees, VP of programming for the Acorn brands at RLJ Entertainment, said, “After first introducing U.S. audiences to the fashionable Miss Phryne Fisher in 2013, Acorn TV is thrilled to work with Every Cloud Productions and all3media on her highly anticipated return in a gorgeous, cinematic film, The Crypt of Tears, as well as introduce audiences to her equally fashionable and entertaining niece Peregrine Fisher in Ms Fisher’s Modern Murder Mysteries. With these new acquisitions as well as Judy Davis’s Mystery Road, Guy Pearce’s Jack Irish and Marta Dusseldorp’s A Place to Call Home, Acorn TV remains a leading destination for bringing U.S. audiences the best in Australian television.”
