NEW YORK – November 20, 2025 – Today, AMC Networks’ Acorn TV, the leading streamer for compelling international crime dramas and murder mysteries, debuted the trailer and key art for the two-part Christmas Special of captivating hit crime drama, The Madame Blanc Mysteries. Created by and starring Sally Lindsay (Cold Call, Mount Pleasant), the special is set to premiere on Monday, December 15 and Monday, December 22, respectively, in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
Sally Lindsay returns as Jean White, joined once again by Steve Edge as Dom Hayes, Sue Holderness and Robin Askwith as eccentric married couple Judith and Jeremy Lloyd-James, Alex Gaumond as Chief of Police André Caron, Sue Vincent as mechanic Gloria Beaushaw, and Tony Robinson as Uncle Patrick – all reprising their beloved roles in the Christmas Special, while John Thomson, Kacey Ainsworth, Raji James and Manjinder Virk are joining the ensemble cast for the festive episodes.
In the all-new Christmas Special, Jean, Dom, Judith and Jeremy attend an exclusive Christmas Eve event at the Musée de Sainte Victoire. Jean is invited to authenticate a newly acquired treasure – a rare Ormolu box once owned by Marie Antoinette. But the festive mood turns dark when Jean discovers a ticking bomb hidden inside. With just 90 minutes until detonation, the museum is sealed shut, the security guard is dead, and the race is on. Jean and the gang must crack the code and defuse the bomb before time runs out. This is Jean’s most perilous challenge yet – can she save the day?
The Madame Blanc Mysteries, an Acorn TV Original Series, is created by Sally Lindsay with Sue Vincent serving as series co-writer. Clapperboard (The Game, The Good Ship Murder) and Saffron Cherry Productions (The World According to Grandpa) co-produce with Acorn Media Enterprises (Acorn TV) on board as international distributor, holding exclusive rights worldwide except for the UK and Northern Ireland.
