Acorn TV Fan-Favorite Madame Blanc Mysteries Season 5 Features Wedding Planning And A Holiday Episode

Murder, stolen treasures, and buried secrets keep antiques expert Jean White busy in sun-drenched Sainte Victoire. But as her wedding to Dom approaches, family tensions are on the rise.

This Is Not A Murder Mystery Concludes In Mid-November

Fans of the Acorn TV period-piece series This Is Not A Murder Mystery will continue to get new episodes until the Season Finale on Monday, November 16.

Set in England during the 1930s, world-renowned Surrealist artists, including young Dalí and Magritte, find themselves trapped in a lavish mansion with a mysterious serial killer on the loose and Scotland Yard on the case. But is everything what it seems?

This series stars Stephen Tompkinson, Pierre Gervais, Lauren Versnick, Jonathan Delaney Tynan, Florence Hall, Iñaki Mur and Donna Banya.

A Remarkable Place To Die Is Back For Season 2 On Acorn TV

The incredible New Zealand series A Remarkable Place To Die is back for Season 2. Acorn TV will drop the first episode on Monday, November 30. New episodes will drop every Monday until the January 4 Season Finale.

Since bringing her sister’s killer to justice, Detective Anais Mallory is still haunted by one unanswered question: why was she killed? After the discovery of Maja Staunton’s body on display, Anais is convinced the two deaths are connected and secretly launches her own investigation into Maja’s murder. But her search quickly attracts unwanted attention. Someone knows Anais is digging into Maja’s death, and they are determined to stop her before she gets too close to the truth. 

This stars Chelsie Preston, Matt Whelan, Charles Jazz Terrier, Michael Banas, and Alex Tarrant, who NCIS: Hawaii fans will instantly recognize.

Although Mystery and Romance TV focuses on light and cozy mysteries, Sleuthers should be warned that A Remarkable Place To Die has some graphic autopsies and murders.

Nonetheless, this series is so incredible, I find ways to avoid looking at that content. It is well worth the watch.

On Saturday, Garage Sale Mysteries returned with Murder Takes The Stage. In this Lizzie Borden-themed mystery, Lori Loughlin’s Jennifer Shannon has to solve a closed-room mystery with the help of all of her friends.

Thankfully, all of the familiar faces were back including Steve Bacic as Jennifer’s husband, Jason Bacic. They are now empty nesters are enjoying their time together.

Connor Stanhope is back as son, Logan Shannon, and Eva Bourne as daughter, Hannah Shannon.

To round out the OG cast, Sarah Strange is back as Jennifer’s best friend and business partner Dani. Also, Kevin O’Grady returns as Detective Frank Lynwood.

There is a load of buzz over this mystery return. The biggest is that everyone is back, and it feels like no time as passed-although it has been seven years between the last mystery of the series and this 17th episode of the series.

Now, Sleuthers want to know if Hallmark will make more of this mystery series.

Here is what Lori Loughlin had to say.

Lori Loughlin Talks About Future Of Garage Sale Mysteries

Before the Hallmark Channel premiered the Lizzy Borden-themed Garage Sale Mysteries: Murder Takes The Stage, Lori Loughlin spoke to Avery Thompson at TV Insider about the series and whether there will be more mysteries in the Hallmark Mystery series.

Lori’s answer was cautious, yet optimistic.

I think we’re talking about possibly doing more, but until we get that green light, anything can happen.

In other words, it all depends on ratings. Should the response be positive, there are rumors that there are two more Garage Sale Mysteries on the docket should Murder Takes The Stage be a success.

Currently, Sleuthers can check out this new Hallmark Mystery on Hallmark+.

Sleuthers, what did you think of the latest installment of GSM?

It has been five long years since Desperate Housewives alum Jesse Metcalfe starred in a Hallmark movie. Now that the fantastic Absolutely Devoted To You has premiered, Sleuthers have been busy on social media planning the return of Metcalfe’s Martha’s Vineyard Mysteries.

It has been five years since the last mystery in this series, Poisoned In Paradise. Fans want more!

Could Hallmark Bring Back Jesse Metcalfe’s Mystery Series?

Right after Hallmark premiered Absolutely Devoted To You starring Jesse Metcalfe and Kimberley Sustad, the network’s Mystery Channel social media revealed that they were airing a Martha’s Vineyard Mysteries marathon.

Needless to say, Sleuthers demanded that the series return.

Firstly, several fans pointed out that viewers never found out who shot Jeff Jackson, Metcalfe’s character.

Moreover, what is next for Jeff and Dr. Zee Madieras, portrayed by Sarah Lind.

In the series, based on the Philip R. Craig novels, Jeff Jackson was a Boston Police Department detective who was forced to retire because he was shot.

However, this cliffhanger was never resolved.

Philip R. Craig was a prolific writer. There is a cornucopia of over 20 books in this series. That means plenty of opportunities for the network to get scripts written and more mysteries made.

Jesse Metcalfe Was Heavily Invested In His Hallmark Mystery Series

Jesse Metcalfe was not only the star of the Martha’s Vineyard Mysteries on Hallmark, he was an executive producer of the series. Therefore, he was heavily invested.

Speaking to the Cape Cod Times, Sergeant James “Jamie” Craig, the son of the late series author, Philip R. Craig, heaped praise on the Christmas Under The Stars actor.

Jesse’s really cool

He reads the books, he loves the character, he loves the way my father wrote the repertoire back and forth between Jeff and Zee. His being passionate about the character really helps.

From the beginning, the John Tucker Must Die star was the perfect actor to portray Jeff.

Hallmark, Metcalfe and Jamie Craig worked together to make the book series work for the network.

This really paid off. All four movies have earned high sixes on IMDb. While the network’s top series, Mystery 101, has averaged low sevens, this series has a favorable rating amongst Sleuthers. It is very comparable to Garage Sale Mysteries, which went on a six year hiatus and is returning in September.

Now that Michelle Vicary has returned to Hallmark, could she bring back Jesse’s series?

Here Are The Four Martha’s Vineyard Mysteries And Where To Watch

There are four movies in the Martha’s Vineyard Mysteries series. They are all available to stream on Hallmark+.

  • A Beautiful Place To Die: A Martha’s Vineyard Mystery
  • Riddled With Deceit: A Martha’s Vineyard Mystery
  • Ships In The Night: A Martha’s Vineyard Mystery
  • Poisoned In Paradise: A Martha’s Vineyard Mystery

Sleuthers, would you like to see Martha’s Vineyard Mysteries back on Hallmark? Please share your opinion in the comments below.
