ACORN TV OCTOBER 2024 HIGHLIGHTS

Whitstable Pearl Season 3 (Acorn TV Original Series) – New Season Premieres on Monday, October 21
The Whitstable Pearl is thriving, and so is Pearl’s (Kerry Godliman, After Life, Our Girl) detective sideline. After a short hiatus, DCI Mike McGuire (Howard Charles, Top Boy, Shadow and Bone) returns to Whitstable, reenergized, and determined to make progress in his quest for self-healing.

He and Pearl continue to make a formidable team as they work through various cases together – Pearl never needs Mike’s help as much as he needs hers! As cracks start to show in Pearl and Tom’s relationship, and Mike finally comes to terms with how his wife died, will Pearl and Mike finally acknowledge their deep feelings for one another?

Candice Renoir Season 10 (Acorn TV Exclusive Specials) – New Specials Premiere on Monday, October 28
“Corsica” Episode
Following their non-proposal, Candice and Antoine go on a honeymoon in Corsica. They spent their savings on a dream stay in a luxurious hotel on a beach with turquoise waters. During dinner, a man notices Candice in her pretty flowered dress and her bright laugh – but perhaps the attention is a little too much?

Antoine gets into a fight with a man he thinks is a flirt, and the couple spends the night apart, deciding to go home. But the next day, the pseudo-flirt is found dead in the trunk of the car.

“Halloween” Episode
Now a financial investigator, Candice is bored out of her mind. With Halloween approaching, she accompanies Antoine to pick pumpkins on a farm with his daughter, Suzanne.

Attracted by a marmalade shop run by a witch, Candice forgets to watch over Suzanne, and a few seconds later, the child is kidnapped by Jack O’ Lantern, the scarecrow from the field. There are numerous tracks but Candice, frustrated to no longer be a field investigator, can only act in secret.

The Midwich Cuckoos: Village of the Damned (Acorn TV Co-Premiere) – New Series Premieres on Thursday, October 17, on Acorn TV and Sundance Now
One summer evening, every person inside the small English village of Midwich suddenly and inexplicably falls unconscious. As they recover from the devastating effects of the blackout, a horrifying discovery is made. Something deeply disturbing and supernatural has taken root – and the idyllic town will never be the same again.

From the Emmy-nominated creator of The Night Manager, Keeley Hawes (Orphan Black: Echoes, Bodyguard) stars in this “brilliantly compelling mystery” (Daily Mirror) based on the iconic John Wyndham novel that inspired John Carpenter’s chilling film adaptation.
