Agatha Raisin, Season 5: Renewed or Cancelled?

Many are wondering if Agatha Raisin season 5 will be there, now that another year has passed and those episodes will air in 2022. The cozy mystery series Agatha Raisin was commissioned back in 2021 for its fourth season on TV Acorn.

The Agatha Raisin series, which is based on the book series by the late MC Beaton and follows the adventures of a former PR executive from London who took early retirement, sold her business, and moved to the Cotswolds, is a British TV mystery series that I follow both on TV and in the books written by Rod Greene, a friend of hers (which is a blessing).

“Murderers and scoundrels!” Exclaim ordinary Agatha’s count, assuming you don’t mind – excessive violence, explicit sexual content, or profanity, the series is too lighthearted in its portrayal. Raisin, although ultimately vulnerable, is a self-centered woman who divides her time between hunting down killers and pursuing men.

Will Agatha return for season 5?

There is currently no official word on whether the casting calls for the upcoming 10-12 month season of Agatha Raisin’s 5th season have been posted on the social media or websites of production companies. However, in most cases, we can find evidence of casting calls happening before reading about it in the table or hearing from a few members of the cast.

We haven’t seen anything about season 5, neither any official word about cancellation, but we haven’t seen anything about cancellation either. However, some may think that cancellations don’t get renewed and never disappear when an announcement is made.

There are two factors that could potentially reduce the chances of a season 5 of Agatha Raisin being produced.

  • We wouldn’t be surprised to see “Raisin Agatha” cancelled or indefinitely shelved, especially now that new productions are cutting back on streaming services. In fact, we’ve encountered helpful press contacts at ANY streaming service, including the best one (AMC, the parent company of Acorn TV in the US). Sadly, they have just laid off a significant percentage of their workforce ahead of Christmas 2022, and “Raisin Agatha” is now 4, 3, and 2 seasons behind the driving force behind TV Acorn US.
  • Recently, Ashley Jensen was named as the replacement for Douglas Henshall in the popular Scottish mystery show Shetland, in which she will be able to make time for both leading roles without over-extending herself. It is extremely common for British actors to appear in 2-3 shows in a given time period, due to lower average pay and shorter seasons. It’s important to keep in mind that the UK is not like the US, where shows often have exclusive contracts and 20-25 episodes per season.
  • We will provide an update if we receive any additional information. Once again, it is important to note that there has been no official announcement in either direction (as of January 2023).

  • While C. M. Beaton is no longer with us, she worked closely with Rod Greene, a ghostwriter, to continue her life at the end of her Together they finished Hot Trot and – after her passing – she gave him her blessing to continue on. Though his first couple felt a bit “off”, the most recent release of Delight Devil’s feels a lot closer to the “old Agatha” that he’s been making adjustments and getting better at volume after volume. Surely, it can’t be easy to take over a long-running series like that.
