Alison Sweeney returns as Hannah Swensen in another 2026 mystery, as a house hunting trip with her mother Delores Swensen takes an unexpected turn. What begins as a personal outing suddenly becomes another investigation when a murder changes their plans and draws Hannah into a new case.

As Hannah begins following the clues, the trip develops into a mystery involving familiar relationships, recurring characters and the close knit community surrounding her. Her curiosity and determination once again lead her deeper into the investigation as she works to uncover answers and understand what happened.

Inspired by Joanne Fluke’s bestselling novels, the Hannah Swensen Mysteries franchise continues combining small town investigations with friendship, character focused storytelling and cosy settings. The latest chapter gives Hannah another mystery to unravel while maintaining the welcoming atmosphere and community connections that have become central to the long running franchise.

Long before many viewers might expect it, Rowan Atkinson took on a dramatically different role as Chief Inspector Jules Maigret in ITV’s Maigret. The adaptation brought Georges Simenon’s famous detective novels to television across four feature length films, transporting audiences to 1950s Paris for a darker style of crime storytelling.

Atkinson delivered a restrained performance that moved away from the comedic characters most associated with his career. The detailed period setting and slower investigative approach gave the films an atmospheric identity, while Shaun Dingwall and Lucy Cohu also joined Atkinson in bringing this interpretation of Maigret to the screen.

The role remains a distinctive chapter in Atkinson’s career and an intriguing adaptation of Simenon’s work. For viewers familiar with him primarily through comedy, Maigret provided an opportunity to see the actor in a more serious and understated detective role, demonstrating a different side of his television career.

Einstein brings together science, crime, mystery and character driven storytelling while giving Gubler a distinctive role beyond his previous television work. His return offers a fresh variation on the detective genre, with an unconventional investigator applying scientific thinking to challenging cases and working alongside an experienced detective to uncover the answers.
