Channel 5 has today revealed if The Madame Blanc Mysteries will be back for another season…
And it’s good news for fans of the cosy crime drama!
The Madame Blanc Mysteries launched in October 2021 and became a huge hit for Channel 5 and Acorn TV.
The series returned for a second season in January, and it’s now been officially announced that a third season has been commissioned.
Season 2 averaged a strong 2.1 million viewers for Channel 5 in the UK earlier this year, with 10% share of the audience.
The show follows renowned and respected antiques dealer, Jean White – played by series creator Sally Lindsay (Cold Call, Mount Pleasant) – as she uses her expertise in the world of antiquities to solve murders and mysteries against the backdrop of the beautiful French village of Sainte Victoire.
