Miss Fisher’s shocking fate revealed as Seven details spinoff show

Miss Fisher’s shocking fate revealed as Seven details spinoff show

Intriguing news for fans of Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries – with new details emerging today about Seven's forthcoming spin-off of the wildly popular retro crime drama, which will be titled Ms Fisher’s Modern Murder Mysteries. The new series will launch as part of the network's 2019 line up, which was revealed this morning.

 

 

Set some 40 years after the original show, which starred Essie Davis as Phryne Fisher, this time Geraldine Hakewill (Wanted) plays Phryne's niece, who inherits a windfall when the 1920s feminist icon and aviatrix seemingly disappears over the highlands of New Guinea.

Joining Hawewill is Joel Jackson (Peter Allen: Not The Boy Next Door, Deadline Gallipoli) who plays Detective James Steed – described as a “smart, ambitious cop”. Rounding out the core cast is Catherine McClements (Wentworth), as Birdie – who is keen that her missing friend’s legacy lives on.

Julie McGauran, Seven's head of drama, described the show as 'very sexy and cheeky', adding, 'It’s going to be fantastic.'

What happened to Miss Fisher?

ABC TV / Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries

The original series has proven wildly popular around the world, screening in many markets on Netflix, and has spawned an upcoming feature film, Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears.

It remains to be seen if Phryne really has gone the way of Amelia Earhart, or if she'll come back in the future, in typically stylish and dramatic fashion.
