The period crime-drama series aired on the country's ABC channel from 2012 until 2015, lasting 3 seasons with a total of 34 episodes. After freeing a young girl from her unjust imprisonment in Jerusalem, Phryne Fisher begins to unravel a mystery concerning priceless emeralds, ancient curses and the truth behind the suspicious disappearance of Shirin's forgotten tribe. The premiere was the first of three sold out screenings at the festival. Glamorous lady detective Phryne Fisher (Essie Davis, The Babadook) returns in a cinematic sequel to the wildly popular TV series.
Second, there is a Miss Fisher spin-off coming to Australian TV (and later to Acorn TV), and it looks pretty great. Glamorous lady detective Phryne Fisher (Essie Davis, The Babadook) returns in a cinematic sequel to the wildly popular TV series. In 1929 Jerusalem, Phryne’s rescue of a young Bedouin girl leads her on a globe-trotting adventure to uncover priceless treasures, wartime secrets, and an ancient tomb bearing a terrible curse, with the help of handsome detective Jack Robinson (Nathan Page, Underbelly). The 1920s-set “Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries,” which ran for three seasons beginning in 2012, turned out to be one of Australia’s most popular TV exports. Essie Davis never had any doubts about returning to the role of Phryne Fisher. Directed by Tony Tilse.
With Essie Davis, Nathan Page, Rupert Penry-Jones, Miriam Margolyes. Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries made the jump to the feature film format with Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears. Now, almost a full five years after the series ended, Davis returns to the beloved role in a sequel movie, titled Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears. What are the chances of more Miss Fisher adventures?
