The Madame Blanc Mysteries Season 5 Given the Green Light
AMC Global Media’s Acorn TV and 5 today announced that the beloved crime drama, The Madame Blanc Mysteries, is set to return for a fifth season later this year, with filming currently underway in Gozo and Malta.
The news comes as Acorn TV is hosting its second annual Murder Mystery May, with new series premieres every week, a bingeable mystery every Monday, and a killer film every Friday. The popular, month-long programming event celebrates the breadth of Acorn TV, showcasing the world’s best mysteries ranging from fan-favorite whodunits to quirky sleuths to diabolical thrillers.
Created by, starring, and co-written by Sally Lindsay, 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.

Greg Barnett, Commissioning Editor at 5, said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to be bringing the series back once again. Sally Lindsay and the team continue to deliver the perfect blend of suspense, sunshine and sentiment. Wedding bells are on the horizon, but will it be murder getting Jean and Dom down the aisle…?”

Thanks to Sally and all of our brilliant team, series five promises to bring more excitement and even more guest stars than ever. Our hats are at the ready, as Jean and Dom plan their much-anticipated wedding, but we’ll have to wait and see if they make it down the aisle, as things are never straightforward in St Victoire.”
