THE MADAME BLANC MYSTERIES RENEWED FOR FOURTH SERIES ON CHANNEL 5

Channel 5 and AMC Networks’ Acorn TV announce the recommission of The Madame Blanc Mysteries, the much-loved crime drama created by and starring Sally Lindsay.



The Madame Blanc Mysteries Series 4 (7 x 60’) will return to the wonderful world of Sainte Victoire, packed with unusual antiques and objéts d’art, murder, mystery, sunshine and laughter for a 7-episode series including a Christmas special.



Creator Sally Lindsay (Cold Call, Love Rat) will return as Jean White, who is navigating a fledgling romance with her sidekick Dom Hayes, played by Steve Edge (Starlings, Benidorm, Maxine).


Co-writer Sue Vincent (Mount Pleasant) stars as mechanic Gloria Beaushaw, Robin Askwith (Strike) and Sue Holderness (Only Fools and Horses) reprise their roles as eccentric married couple Jeremy and Judith Lloyd James and Alex Gaumond (Derry Girls) is back as Chief of Police André Caron.



Tony Robinson and Paul Chuckle (Elliott) complete the cast as Dom’s Uncle Patrick, a petty thief turned pub landlord and as Trevor, Gloria’s dad. Viewers can also expect additional surprise guest appearances which will be revealed in due course!

 

Series 3 of The Madame Blanc Mysteries returned to Channel 5 and My5 in December 2023 with the Christmas Special and the series continued in January 2024. It continues to be one of the channel’s most successful returning series, with series 3 averaging 2.3 million viewers and a 10.3% audience share.



Sally Lindsay commented: “I think if you had told me five years ago when I came up with the idea of Madame Blanc that in the not too distant future our show would be not only a hit in the United Kingdom but America, Australia, Canada (to name but a few), I would have been astounded. But, amazingly, it is! And our team could not be more thrilled to bring you a brand new season of sunshine, laughs and antiques. All the gang are back with some more fantastic surprise guests visiting St. Victoire and we can’t wait for you all to enjoy soon.”


Greg Barnett, Commissioning Editor for Channel 5 said: “The Madame Blanc Mysteries has won over the hearts of our audience, and we can’t wait to say ‘Bonjour’ to our Sainte Victoire favourites once again. The crime rates may be sky-high in this village, but we’re in great hands with the brilliant Jean White, and trusty sidekicks, to crack every case.”   



Catherine Mackin, Managing Director, Acorn Media Enterprises adds: “This series continues to delight from start to finish, and we’re elated by the Acorn TV audiences’ warm and highly committed embrace of Jean White and her community of clever, self-made investigators. We are all in for a treat as we return to the stunning Sainte Victoire for a slew of intriguing new cases in need of solving.”

 

Andy Morgan, Executive Producer, Clapperboard added: "The return of ‘Madame Blanc’ for season four proves just how hugely popular a show it is. The new series will deliver even more gripping mysteries and unexpected twists from our amazing cast, alongside a host of fantastic guest stars. The show is as much fun to make as it is to watch, so we’re delighted to welcome viewers back to the charming world of Sainte Victoire.”



The Christmas special is set to air on Channel 5 and Acorn TV in 2024, with the rest of the series continuing in 2025.
