Adrian Scarborough, Vanessa Emme, Sophie Stone, Lucy Phelps, Peter Bankolé, Anamaria Marinca and Frances Barber star in the series, which follows a pair of detectives, DI Max Arnold (Scarborough) and DS Layla Walsh (Emme), as they investigate crimes investigations in the West Chelsea area of London.
Acorn TV revealed the following about season three of the crime drama:
The third season of The Chelsea Detective sees DI Max Arnold (Scarborough) and DS Layla Walsh (Vanessa Emme, Dublin Murders, Three Families) delving once more into the murky crimes of glamorous Chelsea. The team will investigate the tragic death of a 2000s popstar, the discovery of an ex-soldier’s body in an allotment, the brutal murder of an antiques dealer, and the mysterious case of a climate scientist found dead in a stolen car.
If that wasn’t enough to contend with, things at home aren’t much simpler for the investigating duo either. Max tries a new approach in his personal life as he embarks on couples therapy with his estranged wife, Astrid (Anamaria Marinca). Meanwhile, Layla is still getting used to living in London, while her partner, Jon, is in Exeter. They might be enjoying their independent lives right now but will discover that navigating a long-distance relationship can be trickier than they first thought.
Everyone Loves Chloe is the title of the season three Christmas special airing Monday, December 16 on Acorn TV.
Chloe Carmichael, former pop star and once darling of the tabloids, is found dead in her apartment in the days before Christmas. At first a drug overdose is suspected, but forensics soon determine that Chloe drowned in the bath.
