Acorn TV Will Bring 'Ms. Fisher's Modern Mysteries' Back for Season 2
Ms. Fisher's Modern Murder Mysteries, the 1960s-set spinoff of popular period series Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, will return for a second season, thanks to streaming platform Acorn TV.
The first season of Ms. Fisher was a production of the Australian Seven Network, which Acorn TV licensed for U.S. audiences. (There, the title is emphasized as Ms. Fisher's MODern Murder Mysteries, so you know exactly what sort of period follow-up it is.) Now, according to Deadline, the streaming service is stepping up to the plate to commission a second season of the show, in partnership with EveryCloud Productions and distributor All3Media International.
Geraldine Hakewill stars as one Ms. Peregrine Fisher, the niece of the famous Phryne Fisher, who inherits her aunt's fortune when she goes missing and aims to become a world-class female detective in her own right. Season 1 was comprised of four feature-length episodes and saw Peregrine find her feet in the Adventuresses' Club that so loved her aunt, and prove her mettle to everyone. The series' second outing will see the younger Ms. Fisher "tackling her biggest case yet, while juggling romance with policeman James."
