Acorn TV Officially Renews 'Whitstable Pearl' for Season 3
It was just under a month ago, in early January 2024, when Whitstable Pearl suddenly appeared on the production list for prepping to film Season 3. It was a surprising development; Acorn TV had not indicated there would be another after Season 2 ran in November 2022. However, the streaming service had brought back Harry Wild for two more seasons, with a third season already in the can before it was announced as renewed, so perhaps it wasn’t as shocking as all that.
However, Acorn TV took until February 2024 to officially acknowledge that Whitstable Pearl was back on the schedule and filming preparing to get underway. Oddly, Acorn TV didn’t send out a press release to tell all outlets that cover the series the news; it merely told Deadline that Season 3 was a go and expected the information to disseminate from there. Hopefully, it plans to market the new season a little better than that.
However, Julie Wassamer, the author behind the Whitstable Pearl mystery novels, seems to think fans will find the new season no matter what. “I’m thrilled that Whitstable Pearl will be returning for a third season, as are those all around the world who have taken this series to their hearts – together with its magical setting,” she said.
