Filming is underway as The Madame Blanc Mysteries is set to return to 5.
Created and co-written by Sally Lindsay, the fifth series is co-produced by Clapperboard and Manchester’s Saffron Cherry Productions.
“The love and loyalty from our audience has been incredible, and we’re so grateful to everyone who keeps coming back to St Victoire with us,” said Lindsay.
“I’m endlessly proud of this amazing cast who bring so much joy, warmth and mischief to the show and series five is packed with sunshine, escapism and gloriously twisty mysteries. It’s lovely to be back, and we can’t wait to share another sun‑drenched adventure.”
Regular cast members will be returning, including Lindsay, who stars as Jean White, Steve Edge as Dom Hayes, co-writer Sue Vincent as Gloria Beaushaw. While Robin Askwith and Sue Holderness return as Jeremy and Judith Lloyd James along with Alex Gaumond as Chief of Police André Caron.
Tony Robinson continues as Dom’s Uncle Patrick, Paul Chuckle (Elliott) as Gloria’s dad Trevor, and Stephen Bailey as gangster John Marsden.

It picks up as Jean and Dom plan their wedding, but “nothing can prepare them for the unseen obstacles that crop up along the way.”
The 7 x 60 minute series was ordered by Greg Barnett, Commissioning Editor for 5.
“We’re absolutely thrilled to be bringing the series back once again. Sally Lindsay and the team continue to deliver the perfect blend of suspense, sunshine and sentiment. Wedding bells are on the horizon, but will it be murder getting Jean and Dom down the aisle…?” said Barnett.
Series 5 will be directed by Dermot Boyd, produced by Ursula Haworth, while Mike Benson, Dermot Boyd and Andy Morgan will serve as Executive Producers for Clapperboard, alongside Sally Lindsay and Caroline Roberts-Cherry for Saffron Cherry.
“The Madame Blanc Mysteries is the gift that keeps on giving. Thanks to Sally and all of our brilliant team, series five promises to bring more excitement and even more guest stars than ever,” said Andy Morgan, Executive Producer, Clapperboard.
“Our hats are at the ready, as Jean and Dom plan their much-anticipated wedding, but we’ll have to wait and see if they make it down the aisle, as things are never straightforward in St Victoire.”
The series is currently in production in Gozo and Malta and is expected to air later in 2026.
