More twists, more charm! The beloved New Zealand crime drama returns with its signature mix of wit, mystery, and small-town intrigue. The Brokenwood Mysteries is back for its eleventh season, streaming exclusively on Acorn TV in the U.S. and Canada starting April 21, 2025.
Detective Senior Sergeant Mike Shepherd (Neill Rea) and Detective Kristin Sims (Fern Sutherland) once again dive into Brokenwoodโs deceptively peaceful streetsโwhere quaint settings hide curious crimes and the most ordinary neighbors often have extraordinary secrets. With a new case each week, Season 11 promises a satisfying blend of cerebral puzzles and darkly funny twists.
From mysterious disappearances to bizarre murders, the detectives face cases that test both their instincts and their patience. As always, Shepherdโs quirky methods and love of country music clash and complement Simsโ sharp logic and no-nonsense approach, keeping the dynamic as entertaining as the mysteries themselves.
Fans can expect more of the showโs signature charm: quirky locals, unexpected plot turns, and the kind of slow-burning suspense that makes you lean in and take notes. Beautifully shot against New Zealandโs stunning backdrops, each episode delivers not just mystery, but mood and character.
Whether you’re a longtime viewer or just discovering Brokenwood, Season 11 is a welcoming return to one of televisionโs most quietly compelling detective series. Because in Brokenwood, murder might be commonโbut solving it is anything but ordinary.
