My Life is Murder Series 4 and Complete Series 1 – 4 Box Set – Release News
AWARD-WINNING screen favourite Lucy Lawless (Xena: Warrior Princess, Spartacus) returns as the brilliantly
unapologetic private detective, Alexa Crowe, for the fourth series of popular crime drama, My Life is Murder.
This mystery series has been a hit with fans across the globe since its premiere on Acorn TV and now, hot on the
heels of its transmission on U&Alibi, My Life is Murder Series 4 is set to arrive on DVD and digital alongside My
Life is Murder Complete Series 1 – 4 Box Set on 30 June 2025, courtesy of Acorn Media International.
Retired cop turned tenacious private detective, Alexa Crowe (Lawless) is back, with her dry wit and brash style
as she investigates a multitude of new crimes in this hugely entertaining series.
Series four introduces eight new mysteries, eight new worlds and eight new diabolical killers that only Alexa
Crowe can catch, and her friends and family are coming along for the ride. Tech guru Madison (Ebony Vagulans
– The Furies) is stepping up as she contributes her considerable technical skills to Alexa’s investigations and the
duo fall into a comfortable mentor-mentee relationship – though neither of them will ever agree on who is the
teacher and who is the student. Cafe owner Reuben (Joe Naufahu – Game of Thrones) is stepping in and
brother Will (Martin Henderson – Grey’s Anatomy) is staying close by. Plus, Detective Harry (Rawiri Jobe –
Shortland Street) has Alexa’s back and cranky cat, Chowder, can’t help but complicate everything.
Whether it’s investigating homicidal hairdressers, brutal ballet dancers, wicked widows, or even a case of deadly
stir fry, Alexa is determined to uncover the most carefully hidden secrets that crack Auckland’s most bewildering
mysteries. But when a case digs up her painful past, Alexa herself becomes a suspect and she’ll need her friends’
help more than ever to clear her name.
In the first series we meet Alexa in Melbourne, Australia as she contends with a suspicious death at a competitive
culinary school, a murder in an exclusive cycling club, a locked-room mystery, and much more.
In the second series, Alexa returns to her New Zealand hometown of Auckland, there she’s called upon by DI
Harry Henare (Jobe) to investigate a spate of puzzling murders including the death of a drag queen, the
mysterious demise of an ambitious young winemaker, and a very cold case of a chef found dead in his walk-in
freezer.
Series three sees Alexa settled and surrounded by a small but powerful community of friends and fellow
investigators, but it’s not long before her ordered life is muddled by the arrival of new friends and family who
each bring with them their own surprises, support and complications.
With a fifth series already in the pipeline, now is the perfect time to catch up with My Life is Murder for a thrilling
mystery adventure full of sharp wit, charming characters and plenty of drama.
