Season 5 of “Agatha Raisin” Not Renewed Nor Canceled

Ashley Jensen’s Shooting Schedule Likely Cause of “Agatha Raisin” Season 5 Delay

According to a British tabloid interview, “Agatha Raisin” has not yet had any official word on the possibility of an “Agatha Raisin” season 5. Originally airing in 2014, the English comedy/murder mystery features Ashley Jensen as an amateur sleuth in a small town in the United Kingdom countryside. The television show is based on the same titular murder-mystery books by M.C. Beaton. Raisin features as a public relations specialist, although herself is quite repugnant. M.C. Beaton has written 35 total books under the “Agatha Raisin” saga.

AMC, the distributor of a potential “Agatha Raisin” Season 5 and previously, has not confirmed that a Season 5 is in production or even being written yet but has not denied it either. This could be caused by star Ashley Jensen’s appearances in another detective drama, “Shetland.”

M.C. Beaton unfortunately passed away in December of 2019, which could also point to another reason for the lack of announcement for “Agatha Raisin” Season 5.

How to Watch “Agatha Raisin” Season 5 and Previous Seasons

”Agatha Raisin” Season 5, if it is confirmed, will premiere on Acorn TV. The previous four seasons are available for streaming on-demand from Acorn TV, which is a streaming service that offers content from the United Kingdom and Australia, as well as some dubbed international offerings.

“Agatha Raisin” is available for streaming with an additional premium subscription from Amazon Prime Video, and individual episodes can be purchased on YouTube for around $1.99 each.

Updates on the Cast and Crew of “Agatha Raisin”

Ashley Jensen, a Scottish actress, has appeared in a wide span of media for both United States and English viewers alike. She has appeared in media like “Ugly Betty,” “How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World,” “Sherlock Gnomes” and many more. According to her IMDB, she has just under 70 screen credits as an actress. Her most recent main cast role came in Detective Investigator Ruth Calder from the British detective show “Shetland,” which has aired over 8 seasons since 2013. Jensen does not have any active social media pages.

Starring alongside Ashley Jensen are Matt McCooey, Lucy Liemann, Matthew Horne and Jamie Glover. These all round out the supporting cast for “Agatha Raisin,” including her neighbors and neighbors and detectives (although none of them are amateur status, like Agatha herself). According to the IMDBs for these four actors, none of them are slated for upcoming projects. Particularly of note is that English production would not have been impacted by the Hollywood writer strikes.

Have enjoyed all of M C Beaton’s books (Marion - may she rest in peace). Have watched all four series of Agatha Raisin on Netflix, here in Australia. Love all the series and have bought all four on DVD - watched them over and over. Some of Agatha’s outfits even have had a following, BUT part of the comedy is she thinks what she wears is the ‘bees knees’, but often looks like a ‘regurgitated rainbow’ - LOL (and what adds to the fun is she takes herself sooooo seriously). Hurry up ACORN (or whover we get in Australia, I’m waiting for Series 5! [love] .

[confused] season. 4 was turning into painful slapstick. I’m doubting the detective agency focus.
The early ones were much better. Now they tend to the ridiculous.

Thank Heavens for Agatha. She's a hoot and a woman that takes no for no answer. I like the character as well as the supporting actors, so it is great news that another season is underway. Can't wait. So many good things to say about the comedy and sometimes the seriousness of it all. I mean, with murder you have to get serious on occasion, right? Just a good all round show with excellent actors, writers and technicians. Hooray for the people behind the scenes, I don't think they get much thought as we watch the main character, but without them, we wouldn't have a main character. Just a thought and a way of saying thanks. ❤ With a kiss to Agatha and Roy. [kiss]

I am an American in love with Agatha Raisin! I truly wish Agatha and James would work out their issues or write James off the show and give Agatha wings! (I do love James but his and Aggie's RomCom gotta move forward people! ) Also, please put Agatha back in her elegant yet punk clothes. The ones she wore in Season 4 look like someone threw up a fruit salad on her. The ghastly greens and colors so offensive that I manually saturated my SMART TV colors just to AVOID a headache! I love the characters and have enjoyed watching them evolve into the dysfunctional family they are today!

I own all 21 mysteries on DVD and am due to start Series IV. I'm ready for Series V.

The out fits are a little wild but that's my only problem.

Over all I've watched Series I and II so far and regardless I'll see the rest on my DVD player.

Currently watching Series III. I did get Series IV on DVD and will see the new
episodes in a few days.

Just adore Charles' character, humour, good looks and class. Mrs. Boggle is a treat but please no more "Gorgeous George" please find another name. Suspect the budget has been cut as the same suit jacket and Aggie's funeral hat keep reappearing. The main actors are doing other outside work too. That said, the books are very good reading and although the show doesn't follow Marion's storylines it's still enjoyable light entertainment!

the show is amazing, I have my favorites (Charles - the actor is sensational in the part) and wish they would bring Gemma back, it's not the same without her. Not a huge fan of Toni.

Season 5- 20th February 2023 according to Acorn TV.

I do hope they dealt with the complaints about series 4 -Agatha constantly falling over, screaming and dressing like a pantomime dame.

I will watch in hope👍🏻

The new books co-written by RW Green are very good- if you’re a book fan.

Indeed- I agree. The RW Green ones are like reading MCB at her best days. Some of the later ones were dreadfully muddled, edited- and had apparently not been proof-read.
I’ve ordered every RWGreen one do far.

Anyone know when Season 4 will be released in Australia? I have Acorn TV but it hasn't be release yet. I think there are some issues regarding agreements prior to Acorn TV being launched in Australia. Previous seasons have aired on ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation).

If you install a vpn you can see the rest of series 4 if you set the vpn to the USA. You’ll also get the last 3 episodes of the latest midsomer murders this way too ?

I really liked the early series of Agatha Raisin but found the latest offerings to be far too 'spoofy and slapstick'. They've gone from 'hint of, tongue in cheek' humour to full on 'carry on' but without the brilliant timing. The cast are great, we know they are capable of far better than this direction.

Brilliant! Cosy crime at it's very best. Everything about it is so well considered. From the stylish title graphics to the atmospheric scenery and staging. Memorable and entertaining characters and classic murder mystery story lines. Also wonderfully over the top antics to entertain all round. A true guilty pleasure. Keeping my fingers crossed for a Season 5

Agatha is ust over the top with her behavior and actions. The one police officer is just silly there’s no other word for it. The rest of the cast is excellent. The stories and the scene settings are well done. Somewhat different from the book.
