Even before the Acorn TV premiere of Midsomer Murders Season 25, fans of the long-running series that centers around the fictional Midsomer County now have even more to look forward to! The series is returning for Season 26!
This series is based on the Caroline Graham Chief Inspector Barnaby novels. What makes this particular detective series so popular is the unique ways that the victims die, as well as the different villages and their interests and secret histories.
Best of all, this is a fantastic opportunity to watch many big stars like Henry Cavill, Orlando Bloom, Sam Heughan, Tom Ellis, Stephen Moyer, Lesley Manville, Samantha Bond, Peter Capaldi and more. Many of these roles are early roles before they were famous. Moreover, fans of the many Jane Austen productions get to see their beloved actors play a cornucopia of roles in this popular detective series.
Here are the latest details about this exciting renewal.
