The Madame Blanc Mysteries Season 5 Date and Guest Stars
AMC Global Media’s Acorn TV has announced the premiere date and the guest-star list for the fifth season of the beloved crime drama The Madame Blanc Mysteries, created by and starring Sally Lindsay (Cold Call, Love Rat).
The upcoming season premieres on Acorn TV on Monday, November 9 in the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, with additional episodes of the seven-part season dropping weekly on the platform, culminating in an all-new Christmas Special serving as the season finale.
A dazzling line-up of familiar faces is heading to sun-soaked Sainte Victoire, ready to bring even more mystery and mischief to Season 5.
Guest starring this season are Justin Moorhouse (Phoenix Nights), Brian Capron (Coronation Street), Lesley Joseph (Birds of a Feather), Jason Manford (Waterloo Road), Michael Fenton Stevens (Slow Horses), Su Pollard (Hi-de-Hi!), Louisa Lytton (EastEnders), Frazer Hines (Emmerdale), Bonnie Langford (EastEnders), and Zoe Lyons (Mock the Week).
They join previously announced series regulars Sally Lindsay as Jean White, Steve Edge (Starlings, Murder They Hope, Maxine) as Dom Hayes, co-writer Sue Vincent (Mount Pleasant, Shameless) as the glorious Gloria Beaushaw, Robin Askwith (Strike, Benidorm) and Sue Holderness (Only Fools and Horses, Still Open All Hours) as the delectable Jeremy and Judith Lloyd James, along with Alex Gaumond (Derry Girls, My Dinner With Hervé, Death in Paradise) as Chief of Police André Caron.

The seven-episode fifth season of The Madame Blanc Mysteries follows Jean and Dom as they plan their wedding, and nothing can prepare them for the unforeseen obstacles they’ll face along the way.
During this season, a body is discovered at one of the show’s iconic locations, Uncle Patrick hosts the pub quiz of the century, Judith and Jeremy face a heart-wrenching dilemma, and the bodies continue to stack up when another victim is found foaming at the mouth in St Victoire Theatre.
John Marsden unleashes his full wrath, and Jean and Dom’s journey to the altar hangs in the balance.
Season 5 is directed by Dermot Boyd and produced by Ursula Haworth. Mike Benson, Boyd, and Andy Morgan serve as executive producers for Clapperboard, alongside Lindsay and Caroline Roberts-Cherry for Saffron Cherry.
The Madame Blanc Mysteries is co-produced by Clapperboard (The Teacher, The Game, The Good Ship Murder) and Saffron Cherry Productions (The World According to Grandpa) alongside Acorn Media Enterprises, who also serves as the international distributor, holding exclusive rights worldwide outside the UK and Northern Ireland.
The series was ordered by Greg Barnett, Commissioning Editor for 5.
