Whitstable Pearl gets the green light from Acorn for a third season

Whitstable Pearl has been given the green light for a third season by AMC streaming platform Acorn. The British crime drama stars Kerry Godliman (After Life). In season three of the series, based on the mystery novels by Julie Wassmer and from crime producer Buccaneer, Godliman returns to build her private detective business. She becomes involved in more diverse investigations, including the reopening of a notorious local cold case and the death of a famous food critic. She is aided and abetted by her outspoken, feisty mother Dolly and remains close to her boyfriend Tom, but it is her complex relationship with DCI Mike McGuire that continues to prove Pearl's most challenging case.



Howard Charles returns as DCI Mike McGuire and other returning cast members include Frances Barber as Dolly, Robert Webb as Tom Grant, Isobelle Molloy as Ruby Williams and Sophia del Pizzo as DS Nikki Martel.

Mike Walden (Marcella) returns as writer for season three alongside Sarah Louise Hawkins (Miss Scarlet and the Duke), Joe Ainsworth (Sanditon), Ciara Conway (Holby City) and Kit Lambert (Death In Paradise).

“I’m thrilled that Whitstable Pearl will be returning for a third season, as are those all around the world who have taken this series to their hearts – together with its magical setting,” said Wassmer.

The Acorn TV Original will be distributed internationally by Cineflix Rights and will begin production in Whitstable, England in March 2024. The series will premiere exclusively on Acorn TV in North America, New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom.

The producer of the series is Debbie Pisani. Executive producers are Tony Wood and Richard Tulk-Hart for Buccaneer, Catherine Mackin and Bea Tammer for Acorn Media Enterprises (Acorn TV), Øystein Karlsen, Mike Walden and Wassmer.
