Acorn TV and Channel 5 announced today that fan-favorite whodunit series The Madame Blanc Mysteries is returning with a fourth season, currently in production.
Chouette! Toward the end of this year, we’ll be able to visit once again Sainte Victoire, that charming French town filled with quirky locals and unusual antiques and objéts d’art, not to mention murders and mysteries, because that’s when The Madame Blanc Mysteries returns with the first episode of its fourth season.
Series creator and star Sally Lindsay (Cold Call, Mount Pleasant) reprises her role as antiques dealer and amateur sleuth Jean White, who is navigating a fledgling romance with her sidekick, Dom Hayes (Steve Edge, Murder They Hope, Maxine).
Also returning for the new series are series co-writer Sue Vincent (Mount Pleasant, Shameless) as mechanic Gloria Beaushaw; Robin Askwith (Strike, Benidorm) and Sue Holderness (Only Fools and Horses, Still Open All Hours) as eccentric married couple Jeremy and Judith Lloyd James; Alex Gaumond (Derry Girls, Death In Paradise) as Chief of Police André Caron; Tony Robinson (Time Team, “Blackadder” series) as Dom’s Uncle Patrick, a petty thief-turned-pub landlord; and Paul Chuckle (Elliott, Benidorm) as Trevor, Gloria’s dad.
Guest stars will be announced in due course.
Season 4 of The Madame Blanc Mysteries will kick off with a Christmas special, set to air on Acorn TV and Channel 5 during the 2024 holiday season, followed by six new regular-season episodes in 2025.
The fourth season is directed by Dermot Boyd and produced by Jake Rollins, with Mike Benson and Andy Morgan serving as Executive Producers for Clapperboard alongside Sally Lindsay and Caroline Roberts-Cherry for Saffron Cherry. The series was commissioned for Channel 5 by Greg Barnett, Commissioning Editor.
The series is a production of Clapperboard (Love Rat, The Good Ship Murder, The Teacher) and Saffron Cherry Productions (The World According to Grandpa), co-producing with Acorn Media Enterprises, which is the international distributor, holding exclusive rights worldwide except for the UK and Northern Ireland.
The premiere date for the Christmas special hasn’t been announced yet. Stay tuned for updates.
