Acorn TV Fall 2019 Shows Doc Martin, Agatha Raisin and More

Do you know what I’ve been searching for on Google since Doc Martin ended season 8? When does Doc Martin season 9 start? Know what else I’ve been searching for? Is there a season 3 of Agatha Raisin? If you’re like I am, and love British television shows, you need Acorn TV! I’ve got some of the Acorn TV fall 2019 shows to share with you, so you can stop asking those questions too!

Acorn TV Fall 2019 Shows

Acorn TV is the top destination of British and international programming. They are always expanding their library of content previously unavailable to U.S. viewers. Acorn TV fall 2019 will feature many exciting, exclusive U.S. premieres. These include the beloved series (DOC MARTIN’s Season 9), a gritty crime series from the award-winning creators of Love/Hate (TAKEN DOWN), Italian dramatic fare (BACK HOME), and the eagerly-awaited third season Halloween-themed premiere of the beloved comic mystery series AGATHA RAISIN, starring Emmy-nominated actress Ashley Jensen.

Acorn TV’s fall 2019 schedule also includes the U.S. premieres of two beloved, older UK series, MOUNT PLEASANT (with Coronation Street’s Sally Lindsay and Upstairs Downstairs’ Pauline Collins) and THE TIME OF OUR LIVES (with Love My Way’s Claudia Karvan.)

Doc Martin is back on Acorn TV fall 2019

I adore DOC MARTIN! And not only the show…I also adore the character Doc Martin. He’s grouchy yet you can’t help but love him, especially when you meet his parents! The characters on this show are just amazing, and I miss them when they’re between series. Well, finally, they’re coming back!

DOC MARTIN, Series 9 (Exclusive U.S. and Canadian Premiere) September TBD

*A new episode will premiere weekly on Acorn TV the day after it premieres on ITV in the UK.

One of the most popular UK series worldwide returns with eight new episodes. BAFTA winner Martin Clunes (Manhunt, Arthur & George, Men Behaving Badly) returns in his uproarious lead performance as a tactless, self-centered, and uptight doctor in the charming town of Portwenn, where he clashes with the village’s quirky inhabitants. Co-starring Caroline Catz (Murder in Suburbia) (8 episodes, 2019)

I know what you’re thinking because I’m thinking the same thing. Eight episodes are way too few! And who else wants to go move to Portwenn? (I know it’s really Port Isaac.) And, I thought that it had been mentioned that this was going to be the final season, but I haven’t heard that lately. I hope it’s not!

Agatha Raisin

This is another show that I totally binged on. I wasn’t sure if I was going to be a fan of AGATHA RAISIN, but once I started watching it on Acorn TV, I was hooked!

Agatha and the gang return to Acorn TV fall 2019 on Monday, October 28, 2019

AGATHA RAISIN AND THE HAUNTED HOUSE (third series premiere, Acorn TV Original)

This Halloween-themed special is the third series premiere of the popular Acorn TV Original mystery series starring Emmy®-nominated actress Ashley Jensen (Catastrophe, Extras, Ugly Betty) and based on MC Beaton’s best-selling novels.

The series follows Raisin, a London PR whiz turned amateur sleuth, who becomes entangled in mischief, mayhem, and murder when she opts for early retirement in a small village in the Cotswolds. Drawn into various mysteries, Agatha attempts to solve the crimes… often in rather unorthodox and amusing ways.

In Series 3, Agatha Raisin is on the verge of a new era; reconciled with James Lacey and launching her own detective agency. However, when the agency fails to attract any clients, James suggests they investigate a legendary haunted house as the perfect opportunity to drum up business. No one was expecting their first case to be quite so spooky.

The team faces their most shocking case yet when one of their own nursing team survives a violent attack.

It’s made all the more difficult by her simmering relationship with Dr Gabriel Varma.

Series three also introduces us to a visiting Brit, Ted Dalrymple, an older man on a mission to find a love from his past.
