'The Madame Blanc Mysteries' Season 3 Officially Sets a February Premiere

Christmas may only come once a year, but for shows like The Madame Blanc Mysteries and Call The Midwife, Americans get a double dose of celebration. Unlike in the U.K., where the Christmas specials function basically as kick-offs to the new seasons — in Madame Blanc's case, they are literally considered the season's first episode — in America, these festive specials are cleaved off from the rest of the season, giving fans a second chance for good cheer when the rest of the show debuts.

For Madame Blanc fans, that wait is almost over, as Acorn TV has confirmed the show will return in February 2024. Season 3 proper will pick right back up where the Christmas Special (with the very un-holiday-like title of "Ocean") left off. Jean White is back on the case in her small French town between her bouts of antiquing, with her little group of local friends by her side to help her solve the odd murders around town.

Much like Season 2, Season 3 runs six episodes, but as Episode 1 premiered on Christmas, there are only five episodes left to go in this batch. Moreover, Acorn TV will continue its habit of kicking off new seasons with a double-episode premiere. (Yes, even in the case of a show like Madame Blanc, where the "season premiere" starts with Episode 2!) So fans will be given a double dose of Madame Blanc mysteries to start, allowing for a second celebration all over again. Unfortunately, that does mean there will only be three more weeks of episodes to follow.
