NEW YORK – November 18, 2025 – The beloved British crime drama, Midsomer Murders returns to Acorn TV, AMC Networks’ leading streamer for compelling international crime dramas and murder mysteries, with its 25th Season premiering exclusively in the US and Canada on Monday, December 8. Additional episodes will premiere weekly on the platform. Homicide, blackmail, greed, and betrayal: just a taste of what goes on behind the well-trimmed hedges of Midsomer County in this deliciously sinister series.
This season is one of the wickedest yet with four brand-new feature-length mysteries to crack. From a mudlarking murder to a bowling club killing and a grammar school homicide, DCI Barnaby (Neil Dudgeon, Life of Riley) and DS Winter (Nick Hendrix, Marcella) solve perplexing crimes while also exploring the quirks of their delightfully picturesque yet deadly shire. As ever, DCI Barnaby is also joined by the inimitable pathologist Dr. Fleur Perkins (Annette Badland, Ted Lasso), his wife Sarah (Fiona Dolman, Unforgotten), daughter Betty (Isabel Shaw), and loveable dog Paddy.
An Acorn TV Exclusive Series, Season 25 of Midsomer Murders is written by Julia Gilbert (Episode 1), Maria Ward (Episode 2), Jeff Povey (Episode 3) and Helen Jenkins (Episode 4), and is directed by Paul Gibson (Episode 1), Roberto Bangura (Episode 2), Darcia Martin (Episode 3) and Matt Carter (Episode 4). This season is produced by Peter Bullock and co-produced by Ian Strachan. Michele Buck, star Neil Dudgeon, and Louise Pedersen serve as Executive Producers. Produced by Bentley Productions for ITV, UK, and All3Media International, Midsomer Murders is based on Caroline Graham’s Chief Inspector Barnaby book series.
