Ms Fisher’s Modern Murder Mysteries has returned for a second season, premiering on Wednesday, March 9 at 8:30 pm.
Joel Jackson (Peter Allen: Not the Boy Next Door) returns to the show as the smart, ambitious Detective James Speed, alongside Catherine McClements (Wentworth, Water Rats) as Birdie, an ex-member of WW2 Special Forces and head of the Adventuress Club: a group of exceptional women, and Birdie’s brother, Samuel (Toby Truslove).
Season one of the show is a spin-off of the drama series Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, which was based on author Kerry Greenwood’s series of Phryne Fisher detective novels.
The show follows Peregrine Fisher (Geraldine Hakewill, Wanted, Wakefield), who inherits a fortune when the famous aunt she never knew goes missing. Peregrine sets out to become a world-class private detective in her own right, guided by a group of exceptional women in the Adventuresses’ club, of which her aunt was also a member.
Following in the footsteps of her famous aunt, season two shows Peregrine Fisher attempting to prove herself as a world-class private detective in her own right, as crimes continue to unfold around her in the streets of 1960s Melbourne.
Peregrine, James and the rest of the team continue their journeys of self-discovery and romance over eight parts; tackling tough questions about the role of men and women in changing times while facing mysteries that span everything from sexual liberation and teen gang wars to family prejudice and pigeon-racing.
Can one never-say-never sleuth woman juggle marriage, a career, and life as an Adventuress at the same time?
Ms Fisher’s Modern Murder Mysteries is made by Every Cloud Productions (Seachange, Eden), created by Fiona Eagger and Deb Cox, and was adapted from Kerry Greenwood’s book series.
Season two will premiere on Wednesday, March 9 at 8:30 pm on 7two and 7plus.
