Acorn TV has set the premiere date for Art Detectives, a new art world crime drama series starring and executive produced by Stephen Moyer.
Stephen Moyer (True Blood, Sexy Beast, The Bastard Executioner) leads the cast of Art Detectives, which centers on members of the police’s Heritage Crime Unit and the cases they investigate. On the team are the art-loving DI Mick Palmer (Moyer) and the straight-talking DC Shazia Malik (Nina Singh, Virdee, The Lazarus Project), who solve murders connected to the world of art and antiques — from Old Master paintings and medieval manuscripts, to Banksy street art and collectible vinyl.
The art world is rich and colorful, not to mention driven by greed, obsession, lust, and revenge. Throughout the season, the artfully-astute detectives encounter a fake Vermeer, Viking gold, a rare Chinese vase, and items rescued from the Titanic. As Mick navigates these demanding cases, he also nurtures a budding romance with museum curator, Rosa (Sarah Alexander, Coupling, Green Wing), and must deal with the sudden reappearance of his charismatic father, Ron (Larry Lamb, Gavin & Stacey, EastEnders), who just happens to be one of Britain’s most notorious forgers.
Art Detectives, an Acorn TV Original Series, premieres in the US and Canada on Monday, June 9, exclusively on Acorn TV.
The six-episode series is written by Dan Gaster, Will Ing, Paul Powell, Emma Goodwin (Episode 3), and Kitty Percy (Episode 4), and directed by Jennie Paddon. The executive producers are Gaster, Ing, and Powell for Black Dog Television; Catherine Mackin and Bea Tammer for Acorn TV/Acorn Media Enterprises; Daniel March and Klaus Zimmerman for Dynamic Television; and Stephen Moyer. Candida Julian-Jones is the producer.
Art Detectives is produced by Black Dog Television, Acorn Media Enterprises, Dynamic Television, and Northern Ireland Screen. Dynamic Television is the worldwide distributor, and Acorn TV holds North American rights.
