Acorn TV March 2026 Highlights

Murdoch Mysteries – Season 19

Premieres Monday, March 2 (Weekly Episodes)

Murdoch Mysteries – Season 19

The long-running Canadian hit returns for its nineteenth season, proving its staying power in the crowded mystery genre. Set in early 1900s Toronto, the series continues to follow Detective William Murdoch as he uses pioneering forensic science to solve complex cases.

Season 19 deepens the emotional stakes. Longtime viewers can expect evolving character arcs, shifting alliances, and cases that explore early 20th-century political and social tensions. The show’s blend of historical detail, procedural mystery, and light character humor remains its biggest strength.

Why it matters:

• One of Acorn’s highest-performing titles

• Loyal global fanbase

• Smart mix of cozy and complex crime storytelling

Mystery Road: Origin – Season 2

Premieres Monday, March 23 (Weekly Episodes)

Mystery Road

The Australian noir prequel returns with higher emotional stakes and darker territory. Season 2 follows a younger Jay Swan as he attempts to build stability in a small outback town, only to uncover new layers of corruption and buried secrets.

The series is known for:

• Stark, cinematic desert visuals

• Slow-burn tension

• Sharp cultural and political undercurrents

Fans of atmospheric crime dramas will find this one of the month’s most compelling offerings.

The Feud on Shelbury Drive

Premieres Monday, March 30 (Weekly Episodes)

The Feud

Acorn’s major new drama of the month explores how quickly neighborly relationships can unravel.

Starring Jill Halfpenny and Rupert Penry-Jones, the series centers on two couples whose friendship fractures after a renovation project sparks tension. What begins as a minor dispute escalates into suspicion, secrets, and psychological warfare.

Expect:

• Intimate performances

• Tightly written domestic drama

• Themes of trust, envy, and control

This is positioned as Acorn’s breakout new thriller of early 2026.

Nautilus (Full Season Drop)

Available March 16

Inspired by Jules Verne’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, this 10-episode adventure series reimagines Captain Nemo’s origin story. Lavish production design and serialized storytelling make this one of the month’s most bingeable additions.

If you’re looking for something outside pure crime drama, this is the weekend pick.

Total Control – Season 3 (Binge)

Available March 2

The Australian political thriller returns with a six-episode drop. Power, compromise, and moral cost remain at the center as the series moves deeper into institutional conflict and personal consequence.

Canal Boat Diaries – Season 6 (Binge)

Available March 23

A quieter but beloved offering, this documentary series follows a long canal journey across England’s waterways. It offers visual calm between darker crime dramas.
