Acorn TV Presents: “Ms. Fisher’s Modern Murder Mysteries” Premiering April 29

Streaming service Acorn TV has announced that it will be the exclusive North American partner for the new feature film Miss Fisher And The Crypt Of Tears starring Essie Davis, as well as a new spin-off, 1960s-set series “Ms Fisher’s Modern Murder Mysteries.”

When the famous aunt she never knew, Phryne Fisher, goes missing over the highlands of New Guinea, the gorgeously reckless Peregrine Fisher (Geraldine Hakewill, Wanted) inherits a windfall. Peregrine sets out to become a world-class private detective in her own right, aided by the handsome, straitlaced Detective James Steed (Joel Jackson) and with the unerring guidance of The Adventuresses’ Club, a group of exceptional women of which her celebrated aunt was a member. A natural rule breaker, Peregrine is fearless, fun, and charmingly down-to-earth, as well as having a keen instinct for solving crimes. With newfound wealth and The Adventuresses to hone her rough edges and become the family she’s never had, Peregrine is unstoppable.
