New: Thursday, Mar. 18 at 8 p.m.

The fizz goes out of a sparkling wine launch when the glasses are laced with poison.

Guest star Claire Bloom (Doc Martin; Limelight) and last appearance of Tamzin Malleson as resident pathologist Dr. Kate Wilding.


About the series

Based on the crime-novel series by author Caroline Graham, “Midsomer Murders” follows the efforts of Detective Chief Inspector John Barnaby and his partner, DS Charlie Nelson, to solve crimes that occur in the wealthy, isolated English county of Midsomer, a picturesque and peaceful place on the outside but one filled with amoral and snobbish eccentrics with all kinds of vices.

Upcoming episodes

Mar.  25 – “The Christmas Haunting”
It’s Christmas and new detective Charlie Nelson moves into Midsomer. He’s thrown straight into an intriguing mystery in the village of Morton Shallows. A man is fatally stabbed with an antique sword during a ghost-hunting party at a ‘haunted’ manor house. Can Barnaby and Nelson find a more earthly motive behind the murder and trap the killer? This story features the first appearance of DS Charlie Nelson portrayed by Gwilym Lee.

Apr. 1 – “Let Us Prey”
A series of murders in Midsomer St. Claire seem to be inspired by macabre images on a medieval fresco recently discovered in the church crypt. As the village prepares for storms and flooding it appears that someone is using ancient torture methods to punish modern-day “sinners.” But who is responsible and why?

Apr. 8 – “Wild Harvest”
When wealthy farmer Martin Strickland is covered in truffle oil and mauled to death by a wild boar, the investigation leads to restaurant Wyvern House and its tyrannical celebrity chef Ruth Cameron. Secrets from the past surface and the killer strikes again – but the poison spreads wider than its intended target.
