ACORN TV OCTOBER 2025 HIGHLIGHTS
Murder Before Evensong (Acorn TV Original Series) – New Episodes Every Monday Until the Season Finale on November 3
A new crime drama starring Matthew Lewis (Harry Potter film franchise), Murder Before Evensong is based on the first novel in the Sunday Times best-selling series by British author The Reverend Richard Coles.
Daniel (Lewis) shares Champton rectory with his widowed mother – opinionated, fearless, ever-so-slightly annoying Audrey (Amanda Redman, The Good Karma Hospital) – and his two dachshunds, Cosmo and Hilda.
When Daniel announces a plan to modernize the church, the parish is suddenly (and unexpectedly) divided: as lines are drawn, long-buried secrets come dangerously close to destroying the apparent calm of the village.
And then a body is found dead at the back of the church, stabbed in the neck with a pair of secateurs. As the police move in and the bodies start piling up, Daniel is the only one who can try and keep his fractured community together… and catch a killer.
The Crow Girl (Acorn TV Exclusive Series) – New Episodes Every Monday until the Season Finale on October 13
Gripping crime thriller begins with a teenage boy’s discarded body. Determined to find who is responsible, DCI Jeanette Kilburn (Eve Myles, Torchwood, Keeping Faith) joins forces with psychotherapist Dr. Sophia Craven (Katherine Kelly, Bloods) to hunt the killer despite opposition from her superiors, including confidant DI Lou Stanley (Dougray Scott, Vigil, Crime).
The investigation takes them into a dangerous world of historic abuse and murder. Together, they uncover a chain of shocking events involving the disappearance of children that have gone overlooked for decades, as well as evidence of police corruption.
As the body count rises and the two women are dragged into the depths of the murders, an intimacy starts to form between them, and so begins a complex, twisted love story. All the while, the killer is inching ever closer to home.
Summertide (Acorn TV Exclusive Series) – New Episodes Every Monday until Season Finale on October 20
New South African drama centered on renowned marine biologist Martin Field (Frank Rautenbach), who, after losing his beloved wife Julia (Amalia Uys) to tragedy, leaves his old life behind and moves his rebellious teenage son and daughter to his childhood home in Simon’s Town to begin again.
With Julia’s memory as his driving force, he pours his heart into setting up a conservation trust to protect the marine life along the False Bay coast. Will he find calm in these waters, or does his past hide painful secrets beneath the surface?
