ACORN TV OCTOBER 2022 HIGHLIGHTS

Mystery Road: Origin (Acorn TV Original) – Premieres Monday, October 3 with Two Episodes Weekly
In this prequel series, newly minted detective Jay Swan (Mark Coles Smith, Halifax: Retribution) arrives in a dusty Outback town that’s home to his estranged father and the woman who will change his life, Mary.

Thrust into the investigation of a series of violent robberies; Jay faces a tragic death, a burgeoning love, and the brutal reality of being a police officer straddling two worlds.

My Life Is Murder Season 3 (Acorn TV Original) – Premieres on Monday, October 10 Two Episodes Weekly Through November 7
Lucy Lawless (Spartacus, Xena: Warrior Princess) reprises her popular role as irrepressible investigator Alexa Crowe in her hometown of Auckland, New Zealand, with ten new cases that pit her against fascinating, powerful, and surprising suspects each week – everyone from eccentric billionaires to grieving florists, and from tango dancers to fiery fashionistas.

The only thing they have in common is that none of them are expecting Alexa’s unique brand of crime-solving, but they quickly learn that you underestimate Alexa Crowe at your own risk.

Proud “lone wolf” Alexa has now built a small community of fierce supporters, friends, and fellow investigators in Madison (Ebony Vagulans,) Harry (Rawiri Jobe), and Reuben (Joe Naufahu), along with new friends into this unlikely “found family.” Also returning in season 3 is Martin Henderson (Virgin River) as Alexa’s brother, Will.

Doc Martin Season 10 (Acorn TV Exclusive) – Premieres Monday, October 17, with Two Episodes Weekly Through November 7
In this long-running, highly-viewed UK series, Martin Clunes (Manhunt) stars as surly and self-centered Dr. Martin Ellingham with a rude bedside manner and a phobia of blood. After stepping down as GP in the town of Portwenn at the end of last season, Doc Martin is beginning to question whether he made the right decision about resigning.

With his wife Louisa (Caroline Catz) pursuing her new career as a child counselor in his old surgery, the Doc is left literally holding the baby and indulging in his hobby of repairing clocks on the kitchen table. But does he really want his old job back?

Also returning for the final season are Dame Eileen Atkins as Doc Martin’s formidable Aunt Ruth, Ian McNeice as Bert Large, and Joe Absolom as Al.
