Acorn TV Picks Up 'Bloodlands' Season 2 and More 'My Life Is Murder'
Acorn TV is getting deeper into the business of picking up shows that do well for it when the initial network that greenlit it drops the ball. The streamer, well-known among fans of shows like Ms. Fisher and Agatha Raisin, which Acorn rescued from oblivion, has announced it is taking over My Life Is Murder while boarding Bloodlands Season 2 and renewing London Kills.
My Life Is Murder is an Australian/New Zealand series initially commissioned by and aired on Network 10 in the former country and TVNZ 1 in the latter. The murder-of-the-week series stars Lucy Lawless (Xena: Warrior Princess) as private investigator Alexa Crowe but did not prove a hit, even after TVNZ went in on a second season with Acorn TV. But with Lawless a cult favorite here in the states, Acorn TV found the show's done quite well and has now renewed it for a third run of episodes.
