In this spin-off to the wildly popular Australian mystery series, Phryne Fisher's long-lost niece, Peregrine, decides to follow in her stylish footsteps as a lady detective for a new era. With the help of the handsome, straitlaced Detective James Steed and a group of accomplished women, Peregrine investigates murders in 1960s Melbourne.
But beneath her devil-may-care attitude, Phryne hides ghosts from the past that continue to haunt her. Gorgeously costumed and evocatively shot, MISS FISHER’S MURDER MYSTERIES also stars Hugo Johnstone-Burt ("Cloudstreet"), Ashleigh Cummings ("Tomorrow," "When the War Began"), Miriam Margolyes ("Little Dorrit"), and Nicholas Bell ("Shine"). Miranda Otto ("The Lord of the Rings") guest stars.
