HIGHLIGHTS
Whitstable Pearl (Series 2)
Acorn TV Original
Episodes three and four premiere Monday 5 December; final two episodes follow on December 12 with full season available to binge.
Based on the popular book series by Julie Wassmer, the second season of Whitstable Pearl finds Pearl (Kerry Goldiman, After Life) prioritising her detective work and transitioning from being a chef who solves crimes, to a full-time investigator who just happens to own a restaurant – the eponymous Whitstable Pearl. Pearl’s cases overlap with DCI Mike McGuire’s (Howard Charles, Shadow and Bone, Top Boy) police investigations.
Their relationship is charged by a determination to outdo each other, and a fiery mutual attraction. When they compete, sparks fly and tempers flare. When they work together, they make a hell of a team.
The Madame Blanc Mysteries – Season 2 Christmas Special
