Acorn TV Debuts Trailer for Original Series "You're Killing Me," Starring and Executive Produced by Brooke Shields, Premiering Monday, May 18

The All-New Original Murder Mystery Series Also Stars Amalia Williamson and Tom Cavanagh

NEW YORK - April 27, 2026 - Acorn TV, the leading streaming service for international mysteries and crime dramas, today released the highly anticipated trailer for its new original series You're Killing Me. Executive produced by and starring Brooke Shields, along with stars Amalia Williamson (Sullivan's Crossing) and Golden Globe-nominee Tom Cavanagh (The Flash, Ed), the six-episode murder mystery series is set to premiere Monday, May 18, on Acorn TV. You're Killing Me is created by Robin Bernheim (Mother of The Bride, Princess Switch).

Set in a quaint, New England town, the mystery follows bestselling novelist, "Allie" (Shields), who forms an unlikely alliance with an aspiring writer and podcaster, "Andi" (Williamson), to find the killer of a close friend. Cavanagh stars as "Jack," the new lead detective of the local Police Department and former city slicker who is trying to acclimate to the quirks of small-town life.

You're Killing Me joins a robust roster of hit series across Acorn TV, including recent successes Irish Blood with Alicia Silverstone, Murder Before Evensong with Matthew Lewis, Art Detectives with Stephen Moyer, Detective Ellis with Sharon D Clarke, among long-running fan-favorites Harry Wild with Jane Seymour, The Madame Blanc Mysteries with Sally Lindsay and many more. On May 1, Acorn TV will launch its second annual Murder Mystery May, with new series premieres every week, a bingeable mystery every Monday and a killer film every Friday. The popular, month-long programming event celebrates the breadth of Acorn TV, showcasing the world's best mysteries ranging from fan-favorite whodunits to quirky sleuths to diabolical thrillers -- and it's headlined by You're Killing Me.

You're Killing Me is a co-production between Topsail Entertainment and Shaftesbury. Bernheim and Shields executive produce alongside James Genn (The Good Doctor, Ginny and Georgia, Charmed), who will also direct episodes 101/102, Michael Volpe for Topsail and Christina Jennings and Scott Garvie for Shaftesbury. Scott Smith (The Magicians, Call Me Fitz, Skins) will direct episodes 103/104 and Paul Fox (Schitt's Creek, The Dark Hours, Anne with an E) will direct episodes 105/106.
