'The Crow Girl' Flies to Acorn TV in September

It's been over six months since we last heard anything about The Crow Girl, one of the few U.K. series commissioned for the British version of Paramount+ to make it through production without getting canceled, despite the company's near collapse and new ownership. It was apparent when the show debuted in the U.K. in January 2025 that it would not stream on the U.S. version of the service. With the sale of Paramount Global to Skydance in limbo at the time, there was a distinct possibility the series might never see the light of day in the U.S.

However, money changed hands, and enough wheels were greased to complete the merger, which closed on August 7, 2025. Now, it's unclear whether the AMC Networks announcement, arriving exactly a week later, that it will stream The Crow Girl on Acorn TV in September, is directly related to the delays in closing. However, it certainly feels like a blocked pipeline of shows has just restarted operations, and viewers may yet get to see some of the shows that never found a home in the U.S., including One Night and The Serial Killer's Wife.

Based on Erik Axl Sund's* book of the same name, The Crow Girl is another Nordic Noir novel reset in the northern parts of the U.K., not unlike the late lamented Annika. (*"Erik Axl Sund" is the nom de plume used by Swedish writing duo Håkan Axlander Sundquist and Jerker Eriksson.) The novel follows DCI Jeanette Kilburn and eminent psychotherapist Dr. Sophia Craven as they join forces to hunt the killer of young men and into a dangerous world of historic abuse and murder.
