'Ms Fisher’s MODern Murder Mysteries' Confirmed for 2019

Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries has a new spin-off TV series coming in 2019: Ms Fisher’s MODern Murder Mysteries.

Back in August of last year, when we first reported on Every Cloud Productions' aim to bring a Miss Fisher movie trilogy into theaters, it was notable that the big screen version wasn't the only Miss Fisher-related production the company was looking to launch. There were also rumors producers that Deb Cox and Fiona Eagger were looking to find a way to bring the series back to TV, with talk of pitching a prequel series to Australia's ABC, focusing on Miss Fisher's younger years, not unlike the current Inspector Morse prequel Endeavour. At the time, the proposed synopsis was as follows:

That will be a younger Phryne Fisher. She is 18, her family has come into money, and she’s in the UK at a finishing school. She gets word that her best friend from Melbourne is charged of murder and is heading for the gallows. She escapes (from the finishing school) and comes back (to Australia) to save her friend. On the run is where she learns a lot of her (sleuthing) skills.
