The 'Harry Wild' Season 3 Trailer Reminds Us, As a Detective, She's a Lot Nicer

Acorn TV is all about older women detectives and has been ever since Miss Phryne Fisher sauntered off the boat in the first episode of Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries. But while the streaming service has had all kinds of women detectives, from Sarah Lancashire's Sergeant Catherine Cawood on Happy Valley to Kerry Godliman's Pearl Nolan in Whitstable Pearl, no detective has been quite as popular as Jane Seymour's Harry Wild. The recently retired English professor turned sleuth has become one of Acorn TV's most popular offerings, and Season 3 is heading back to screens just in time for summer.

Harry Wild first debuted in the spring of 2022, introducing Seymour and her odd-couple sidekick, Fergus, played by Rohan Nedd, himself an alumnus of Acorn TV's Whitstable Pearl series. The two started out as a weird team of crime solvers, but over the two seasons thus far, they've become a bit of a found family even as Harry's own blood relations struggle with her fascination with solving murders. (Her son, a professional cop, can't decide if he wishes mom would just stop, or if he couldn't be prouder. Sometimes it seems like both.) But fans of the series have made up their minds on the series. They are absolutely here for more of Harry and Fergus.

Honestly, after watching the trailer, I think Harry's residents and neighbors of Harry should probably be into it as well. After all, they are much nicer to talk to than the actual police when there's a body lying around.
