Inspector Ellis
Acorn TV Original Series
New Series Premieres Exclusively on Acorn TV and AMC+ Monday 10 February
Three-time Olivier Award-winner and Tony Award-nominee Sharon D Clarke (Showtrial, Doctor Who) stars as Detective Chief Inspector Ellis, a tenacious cop who is parachuted into failing investigations.
Each ninety-minute episode of the three-part series sees DCI Ellis accompanied by her right-hand man Detective Sergeant Harper, played by Andrew Gower (The Winter King, Carnival Row, Outlander), arrive at a different local police station, where she must win over the local detectives and immerse herself in the cases she’s come to solve.
As a Black female cop, Inspector Ellis is used to being dismissed and overlooked, but remains focused on her work as a first-class murder detective, fueled by a determination for justice and a deep well of compassion for those who need it.
Midsomer Murders
Season 24 Binge Premiere Monday 17 February on Acorn TV and AMC+
Based on the crime novel series by author Caroline Graham, Midsomer Murders follows the efforts of Detective Chief Inspector John Barnaby (Neil Dudgeon) to solve crimes that occur in the wealthy, isolated English county of Midsomer, a picturesque and peaceful place on the outside but one filled with amoral and snobbish eccentrics with all kinds of vices.
This season, DCI Barnaby and DS Jamie Winter (Nick Hendrix) investigate a vicious inheritance dispute, the killing of a puzzle-book author, a pet detective’s death and a string of grisly murders in the avowed “Greenest Village in Midsomer.”
