August is about to end on the best note for followers of the Dermot Boyd-directed crime dramedyThe Madame Blanc Mysteries, as AMC’s Acorn TV and Channel 5 have renewed the series for a fourth season. On Thursday, August 29, the networks announced the recommission of the highly appreciated crime drama, with the season currently in production.

She 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, and 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.”
