'The Sister Boniface Mysteries' to Arrive on Britbox in February

Based on the G.K. Chesterton novels, Father Brown follows the adventures of a 1950s Roman Catholic priest who also happens to solve crimes. The cozy mystery series is currently in its ninth season and is as popular - if not more so - than it's ever been. So much so, that fans can expect to see its very first spin-off arrive in America next month.

The Sister Boniface Mysteries will follow the adventures of the titular Sister Boniface, who is a Bride of Christ, a vintner, and a part-time Crime Scene Investigator. Though the character only appeared in the very first season of Father Brown, original actress Lorna Watson will reprise her role as the sleuthing nun.

Set in rural Warwickshire during the 1960s, this is a time period in which the entire concept of police forensics is...rudimentary at best. DNA testing doesn't exist yet. Blood testing can take days. The idea of trace evidence is in its infancy and the chain of custody - even the simple preservation - of crime scene evidence is hit or miss. But, thankfully (some might say by divine providence!), the Great Slaughter Constabulary has a secret weapon in its fight against crime.
