Lucy Lawless Crow(e)s About ‘My Life is Murder's Fourth Season
With its fourth season premiering stateside in mid-June 2024, Acorn TV’s hit series My Life Is Murder is back for another round of cozy crimes down under. The series stars Lucy Lawless (Xena: Warrior Princess) as retired police detective Alexa Crowe, a whip-smart and fearless powerhouse who assists the Auckland police with cases that often don’t at first seem suspicious. At her side since the first season is former hacker Madison (Ebony Vagulans), who has also been Alexa’s roommate since Season 2.
Together, the ladies have a sibling-like synergy with a knack for uncovering hidden details and solving impossible cases. Alexa collects evidence boldly, often barely escaping discovery, and is particularly relentless in confronting the culprit once she knows she’s uncovered the truth. Season 4 also sees the return of Alexa’s ex-con brother Will (Martin Henderson), who is trying to remain on the right side of the law for once, allowing him and Alexa to team up in a much more fun and unrestrained way. (The actors have great familial chemistry.) Rounding out the regulars in Alexa’s life, there's police detective Harry (Rawiri Jobe), who gives her each case, and café owner Reuben (Joseph Naufahu), who often gets dragged along to help.
Lawless generously sat with Telly Visions to talk about Alexa Crowe in the fourth season, her co-stars, and who the real diva is on the set of My Life is Murder.
