Acorn TV is still wild about Harry. The streamer has confirmed that its popular crime drama Harry Wild has been officially renewed for a fifth season. The show, which stars acting legend Jane Seymour (Doctor Quinn, Medicine Woman) as the titular retired English professor turned amateur sleuth, is one of Acorn TV’s flagship properties and has helped the niche streamer redefine its image as a destination for cozy mystery series featuring well-known actors looking for a reboot into a different phase of their careers.

(Mark your calendars: Stephen Moyer’s Art Detectives premieres in June!)

Seymour plays Harriet “Harry” Wild, a retired English professor who solves a variety of literature-themed crimes in Ireland with some help from Fergus, an intelligent and troubled teen she took under her wing after he tried to mug her back in the show’s first episode. The unlikely pair now helm Wild/Reid Detective Agency, tackling offbeat cases that run the gamut from the dark and gritty to the occasionally ridiculous.
