Lucy Lawless (Xena: Warrior Princess, Parks and Recreation) stars in Acorn TV's newest Australian mystery series

MY LIFE IS MURDER

Exclusive U.S. Premiere on Acorn TV beginning Monday, August 5, 2019

An unrepentant and brilliant woman who refuses to give in. Or give up.

The well-crafted and compelling new Australian mystery MY LIFE IS MURDER makes its exclusive U.S. premiere from Acorn TV beginning Monday, August 5, 2019 with the first two episodes; followed by a new episode every Monday through September 30. The 10-part series stars the beloved, award-winning actress Lucy Lawless (Xena: Warrior Princess, Parks and Recreation) as Alexa Crowe, a fearless private investigator and ex-homicide detective who solves the most baffling crimes, as well as coping with the frustrations of everyday life. My Life is Murder is set to premiere on Network Ten in Australia in mid-July. Called a "glorious streaming service... an essential must-have" (The Hollywood Reporter), Acorn TV is North America's largest streaming service for high-quality British and international TV.

Investigator Alexa Crowe can't help fighting the good fight - whether it's solving murders or combating the small frustrations of everyday life. Fearless and unapologetic, Alexa's unique skills and insights into the darker quirks of human nature allow her to provoke, comfort and push the right buttons as she unravels the truth behind the most baffling crimes.

As Alexa unmasks the hidden passions and dangerous secrets lurking in the energetic, ever-changing city of Melbourne, she is ably assisted by ambitious twenty-something Madison Feliciano (Ebony Vagulans, The Heart Guy, The Furies) - who is not so quietly learning from the best - and her former boss, Detective Inspector Keiran Hussy (Bernard Curry, Home and Away, Wentworth), who enlists Alexa on his trickiest cases.

My Life Is Murder features a stellar line-up of series regulars and guests including Danielle Cormack (Wentworth, Rake, Jack Irish), Don Hany (Serangoon Road, Picnic at Hanging Rock, Strike Back), Magda Szubanski (Kath & Kim), and Nadine Garner (The Doctor Blake Mysteries).

U.S. Premiere Beginning: Monday, August 5 thru September 30, 2019 Format: 10 episodes
