Acorn confirms season 3 of ‘Whitstable Pearl’ crime drama

Acorn, the AMC streaming platform, has confirmed the third season of the British crime drama ‘Whitstable Pearl,’ according to a Deadline report.

The series is led by Kerry Godliman and is based on the mystery novels by Julie Wassmer.

Crime producer Buccaneer’s show returns for Season 3, where Godliman resumes building her private detective business. This season is expected to have diverse investigations, from reopening a notorious local cold case to delving into the death of a renowned food critic. Alongside her outspoken and feisty mother, Dolly, and her steadfast boyfriend, Tom, Godliman navigates through these cases. However, it’s her complex relationship with DCI Mike McGuire that remains Pearl’s most challenging case yet.

Howard Charles makes a return to the series as DCI Mike McGuire along with Frances Barber as Dolly, Robert Webb as Tom Grant, Isobelle Molloy as Ruby Williams and Sophia del Pizzo as DS Nikki Martel.

Mike Walden will once again serve as a writer for season 3 alongside Sarah Louise Hawkins, Joe Ainsworth, Ciara Conway, and Kit Lambert.

Author Wassmer said, “I’m thrilled that Whitstable Pearl will be returning for a third season, as are those all around the world who have taken this series to their hearts – together with its magical setting”.

Cineflix Rights will distribute the series internationally. The production of the series will start in March 2024 in Whitstable, England. Debbie Pisani serves as the series producer, while executive producers include Tony Wood and Richard Tulk-Hart representing Buccaneer, and Catherine Mackin and Bea Tammer from Acorn Media Enterprises (Acorn TV), along with Øystein Karlsen, Mike Walden, and Wassmer.

The series will exclusively premiere on Acorn TV in North America, New Zealand, Australia, and the United Kingdom.
