Acorn TV Confirms 'Signora Volpe' Will Return for Season 3

Riding the current high of two record-breaking series premiering back-to-back in Art Detectives and Irish Blood, Acorn TV announced it will bring back one of the shows that hasn't yet found an audience, in hopes that the newcomers will start tuning in. Signora Volpe, the lush Italian-set odd-couple detective series starring Silent Witness' Emilia Fox, is back in production for Season 3, as Fox's character, former MI-6 agent Sylvia Fox (no relation!), gets back to her life after Season 2's finale saw her abducted and nearly killed by thugs working for her ex-husband.

Much like in the world of Law and Order, in the world of television mysteries, the cases are solved by two separate yet equally important types of shows. There are thrillers, which focus more on investigating the crime than the people solving it; and there are cozy crime series, where the relationships between the characters are just as meaningful as the mysteries they're solving, and the creation (and maintaining) of a found family drawn together by the events.

Acorn TV is having a smashing success in 2025 with the latter type of show; however, Signora Volpe is a little different. While it is a cozy crime series, the show takes a different approach to the emotional lives of the characters, asking what happens when the protagonist leaves that found family to connect with her real one. Sylvia has spent her life in MI-6, her move to Italy is her trying to reconnect with her blood relations, specifically her sister.
