That's excellent news for fans of the show! It's been officially confirmed that The Brokenwood Mysteries has been renewed and is now in production for its 12th season. The show's official social media channels have confirmed that the beloved Kiwi crime-fighting team is back on the case, with filming underway.
While it's still too early for a firm release date or detailed plot summaries, the show's consistent annual schedule suggests that Season 12 will likely premiere in late 2025 or early 2026 on Acorn TV in North America, with other territories to follow. Viewers can expect to see the return of Detective Senior Sergeant Mike Shepherd (Neill Rea) and Detective Kristin Sims (Fern Sutherland) as they continue to solve quirky and complex murders in the seemingly peaceful town of Brokenwood. The show's blend of compelling mysteries, dry humor, and picturesque New Zealand scenery has made it a global favorite, and its long run is a testament to its enduring popularity.
