NEW YORK, NY - August 15, 2023 - Acorn TV's latest original mystery series, Mrs Sidhu Investigates, will premiere on Monday, September 18, exclusively on Acorn TV, with additional episodes dropping weekly. Based on the popular BBC Radio 4 series of the same name, the four-episode series is created and written by Suk Pannu (The Kumars at No. 42). Meera Syal (The Kumars at No. 42, The Split, The Devil's Hour), who voiced the eponymous Mrs. Sidhu for the radio show, stars as the high-end caterer Mrs. Sidhu. Craig Parkinson (Line of Duty, Grace, Doctor Who) co-stars as the world-weary DCI Burton. Together, they form an unofficial partnership solving crimes in the affluent county of Berkshire.
Mrs. Sidhu (Syal) is a high-end caterer with a taste for crime. Recently widowed, she juggles her new catering business with encouraging her wayward son Tez (Gurjeet Singh, Ackley Bridge) to find his passion, all while serving up justice to those who believe they are above the law. Her forays into sleuthing see her form unofficial partnership with long-suffering divorcee DCI Burton (Parkinson) who reluctantly accepts that together they're an unbeatable crime fighting duo, much to the bemusement of his partner, DS Mint (Naana Agyei-Ampadu, Industry).
Mrs Sidhu Investigates is created and written by Suk Pannu, with Vivienne Harvey (Harlots) also writing two episodes and Meera Syal providing additional material. The series is directed by Steve Barron (The Durrells) and Ben Kellett (Death in Paradise). Jane Wallbank (Traces) serves as producer. Executive producers include Catherine Mackin and Bea Tammer for Acorn Media Enterprises; Jane Wallbank, Alison Owen, Debra Hayward and Alison Carpenter for Monumental Television; Gordon Kennedy for Absolutely Productions and Steve Barron. Meera Syal and Suk Pannu are also executive producers.
