The Madame Blanc Mysteries begins filming fifth series for 5
Sally Lindsay's comedy drama, co-produced by Clapperboard and Manchester's Saffron Cherry Productions, is shooting in Gozo and Malta.
Filming has started on a fifth series of The Madame Blanc Mysteries for 5.
The show was created and co-written by Sally Lindsay, and the new series is a co-production between 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.”
The regular cast returns, with Lindsay as Jean White, Steve Edge as Dom Hayes and co-writer Sue Vincent as Gloria Beaushaw. Robin Askwith and Sue Holderness are back as Jeremy and Judith Lloyd James, and Alex Gaumond plays chief of police André Caron.
Tony Robinson continues as Dom's Uncle Patrick, Paul Chuckle (Elliott) plays Gloria's father Trevor and Stephen Bailey returns as gangster John Marsden.
The new series follows Jean and Dom as they plan their wedding, but “nothing can prepare them for the unseen obstacles that crop up along the way.”
Greg Barnett, commissioning editor for 5, ordered the 7 x 60-minute series.
“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.
Dermot Boyd directs and Ursula Haworth produces. Mike Benson, Dermot Boyd and Andy Morgan are executive producers for Clapperboard, with Sally Lindsay and Caroline Roberts-Cherry executive producing 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 Morgan.
“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 being filmed in Gozo and Malta and is expected to air later in 2026.
