Emmy-Winning Actress Jane Seymour (The Kominsky Method, Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman) to Star in and Co-Executive Produce Acorn TV's New Irish Mystery Thriller Series HARRY WILD

Eight-Part Drama from Dynamic Television Commissioned by Acorn TV

New York, NY; April 14, 2021 - Hollywood icon and Emmy(R) and Golden Globe(R) Award winning actress Jane Seymour (The Kominsky Method; Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman; Live and Let Die) has signed on to star in and co-executive produce Irish mystery thriller Harry Wild, which will premiere in 2022. AMC Networks' Acorn TV is announcing the commissioning with Acorn Media Enterprises of the 8 x 60-minute series from production and distribution company Dynamic Television (Trapped, Madiba, Van Helsing). Created and co-written by David Logan (Lost Christmas), Harry Wild stars Seymour as a recently retired English professor who discovers a real knack for investigation and cannot help but interfere with the cases assigned to her police detective son. Production will begin in May 2021 in Dublin. Acorn TV will feature its world premiere in the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, among others in 2022. Dynamic Television will distribute the series.

Harriet "Harry" Wild (Seymour) is a retiring university literature professor who is finding herself at one of life's crossroads. Jolted from a mugging, she reluctantly agrees to recover in the home of her son, Charlie, a senior police detective. Charlie's family does their best to tolerate Harry's inscrutable ways, but Harry speaks her mind. Despite Charlie's strong objections and warnings, Harry starts to interfere in her son's particularly baffling murder case when she notices the murderer has followed a pattern from a well-known play.

When she successfully catches the killer by putting herself at great risk in the process, she finds a new lust for life. Harry and her protégé, Fergus, a troubled teen in whom Harry sees great potential where others see only a thug, quickly find new mysteries to solve. Harry's expertise at her new passion brings her into direct conflict with Charlie, who needs nothing less than his mother causing trouble at work!

A multiple Emmy and Golden Globe winner and recipient of the Officer of the British Empire (OBE) bestowed upon her by Queen Elizabeth II, Jane Seymour has proven her talents in virtually all media, the Broadway stage, motion pictures and television. As iconic star of the beloved TV series Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman, Seymour became a role model to young women and girls throughout the world with her inspiring rendition of a woman who can courageously dare, achieve and improve anything a man can do, investing it with that "woman's touch" of caring humanity. Additional credits include The Kominsky Method, Live and Let Die, Somewhere in Time, The Wedding Crashers, Onassis: The Richest Man in the World, War and Remembrance, East of Eden, among a wide assortment of film, television and theater projects.

Jane Seymour, star and co-executive producer, noted: "From the first moment I read the script, I fell in love with Harry Wild and am beyond excited to head to Ireland and step into the role of this very curious and passionate retired professor. Acorn TV continues to lead the way in producing original series with strong female leads, so I'm thrilled to partner with them and my friends at Dynamic Television to make this fun new series."

Catherine Mackin, Managing Director, Acorn Media Enterprises, noted: "Jane Seymour, OBE has been a trailblazing celebrity in television, film and theater for nearly a half-century, and Acorn Media Enterprises is honored to have her star in and executive produce this new, captivating drama on our streaming service.
