ACORN TV SHARES FIRST-LOOK AT STEPHEN MOYER IN EXHILARATING ART WORLD CRIME DRAMA, "ART DETECTIVES"

Acorn TV's Newest Gripping Detective Drama Set to Premiere Monday, June 9

New York, NY - March 4, 2025 - Acorn TV today released first-look photos from the upcoming art world crime drama, Art Detectives, starring and executive produced by Stephen Moyer (True Blood, Sexy Beast). Set to premiere on Monday, June 9 in the US and Cananda, the six-episode series is centered around the Heritage Crime Unit, a police department consisting of art loving DI Mick Palmer (Moyer) and straight-talking DC Shazia Malik (Nina Singh - Virdee, The Lazarus Project). Together, they solve murders connected to the world of art and antiques, from Old Master paintings, to Banksy street art, medieval manuscripts and collectible vinyl.

Throughout the season, the artfully astute detectives encounter a fake Vermeer, Viking gold, a rare Chinese vase and items rescued from the Titanic. It's a rich and colorful world driven by greed, obsession, lust and revenge. Mick navigates these demanding cases while managing a budding romance with museum curator Rosa (Sarah Alexander - Coupling, Green Wing) and the sudden reappearance of his charismatic father, Ron (Larry Lamb - Gavin & Stacey, EastEnders), who just happens to be one of Britain's most notorious forgers.

Art Detectives is written by Dan Gaster, Will Ing, Paul Powell, Emma Goodwin (Ep 3) and Kitty Percy (Ep 4) and directed by Jennie Paddon. The series is executive produced by Gaster, Ing and Powell for Black Dog Television, Catherine Mackin and Bea Tammer for Acorn TV/Acorn Media Enterprises, Daniel March and Klaus Zimmerman for Dynamic Television and Stephen Moyer. Candida Julian-Jones produces.

Art Detectives is an Acorn TV Original Series produced by Black Dog Television, Acorn Media Enterprises, Dynamic Television and Northern Ireland Screen. Dynamic Television is the worldwide distributor, and Acorn TV holds North American rights.
