Madame Blanc Mysteries renewed for season 4 and Christmas special
The Channel 5 drama will be back for seven new episodes.
Channel 5 detective drama The Madame Blanc Mysteries has officially been renewed for a fourth season, with a Christmas special also confirmed for this year.
The Christmas special will sees fans return to the world of Sainte Victoire, with six new episodes then following in 2025.
Creator Sally Lindsay will return as Jean White, who will be seen navigating a fledgling romance with her sidekick Dom Hayes, as played by Steve Edge.
Other returning stars include co-writer Sue Vincent as Gloria Beaushaw, Robin Askwith and Sue Holderness as Jeremy and Judith Lloyd James, and Alex Gaumond as Chief of Police André Caron.
Tony Robinson and Paul Chuckle will also be back as Patrick and Trevor, while viewers can also expect additional surprise guest appearances.
Lindsay said in a statement: "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 Sainte Victoire and we can't wait for you all to enjoy soon."
