'Ms Fisher's Modern Murder Mysteries' Season 2 Gets A Release Date

It may be "shot girl summer" here in the states, but on Acorn TV, it's going to be "sixties girl summer" starting in June with Ms. Fisher's Modern Murder Mysteries Season 2. Ms. Fisher — the younger version, Peregrine, is back with a new set of swinging sixties fashion and mod cases for the modern detective.

The end of Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries as a TV series in Australia came just as the show's popularity was starting to grow overseas. The series run on Netflix built a fandom in America only to tell them there wouldn't be any more episodes. While actor Essie Davis was willing to come back for a film here and there, that left the world of TV bereft. Moreover, though the idea of a "young Miss Fisher" spinoff in the vein of Endeavour might sound appealing, the original series covered that pretty well. If there were going to be a new Miss Fisher, it would have to be the next generation.

Thus Ms. Fisher arrived. Conceived as Phryne's niece, the daughter of a long-lost half-sister Annabelle (Baron Henry George Fisher did get around), Ms. Fisher is living an unformed life in a small trailer flitting from job to job when she arrives at the top of Season 1. But when Phryne goes missing over New Guinea, Peregrine inherits her fortune, house, car, and life. It inspires her to become a private detective in her own right, following the inspirational footsteps of the aunt she never knew, and worthy of the Adventuress' Club.
