The Frankie Drake Mysteries TV show on Ovation: (canceled or renewed?)

The Frankie Drake Mysteries are coming to the U.S. This week, Ovation announced they’ve acquired the first two seasons of the Canadian TV show.

The detective drama is set in 1920s Toronto and follows “the city’s only female private detectives as they take on the cases the police don’t want to touch.” The cast includes Lauren Lee Smith and Chantel Riley.

Season one of Frankie Drake Mysteries will debut on Ovation in June 2019.

London, [11 October 2018] – Critically acclaimed detective drama Frankie Drake Mysteries continues to enthrall viewers worldwide as Ovation, America’s only arts network, signs U.S. broadcast rights to two seasons (21 x 60′). Ovation joins a host of international broadcasters that have signed the brand new second season – which debuts at MIPCOM 2018 as part of leading global distributor Kew Media Distribution’s new drama slate.

Set in 1920s Toronto, following the city’s only female private detectives as they take on the cases the police don’t want to touch, Frankie Drake Mysteries is a CBC Original series developed and produced by Shaftesbury in association with CBC and UKTV.

Season one of Frankie Drake Mysteries will premiere to U.S. audiences on Ovation in June 2019. In addition to the new two-season deal with Ovation, the new ten-part second season has been renewed in a pan territory deal with Viasat for Central and Eastern Europe, as well as Globosat in Brazil, Sky in New Zealand, and Dazzler in UK (Home Video and DTO). In Europe, the new series has also been acquired for Finland by YLE.

In both Canada (CBC) and the UK (Alibi), the first series of Frankie Drake Mysteries was the second most watched drama across its broadcast season for each channel, increasing Alibi’s slot average by 210%. Frankie Drake Mysteries stars Lauren Lee Smith (The Shape of Water) and Chantel Riley (Wynonna Earp) as the Drake Private Detectives, who take on cases exploring a cross-section of 1920s Toronto, with the help of morality officer Mary Shaw (Rebecca Liddiard, Alias Grace) and morgue attendant Flo Chakowitz (Sharron Matthews, Mean Girls). In this time of change, their gender is their biggest advantage as they defy expectations and rebel against convention. They are new detectives for a new world – but is the world ready for them?

“Frankie Drake Mysteries is the embodiment of artfully told and executed storytelling,” said Scott Woodward, EVP of Programming, Ovation. “From the brilliant costume and set design to the jazz-infused soundtrack, this series’ artistic elements enhance the good fun of this engaging mystery series.”

Jonathan Ford, EVP of Sales at Kew Media Distribution, commented, “We’re incredibly pleased with the global success of Frankie Drake Mysteries and are delighted to welcome Ovation as the latest broadcaster to secure this stylish drama.. Evoking the thrilling atmosphere of an era that saw real revolution, Frankie Drake Mysteries focuses on themes that are as relevant today as they were then. Alongside its fantastic critical acclaim and overwhelmingly positive response on social media, ratings statistics prove that the first series offers broad audience appeal – and we’re confident that the new season will continue to be in strong demand.”

“We’re excited for American audiences to meet the phenomenal women of Frankie Drake Mysteries. They are a force to be reckoned with, as a team and as individuals, as they solve cases across 1920s Toronto. We are thrilled to share these dynamic characters and their stories with the world,” said Christina Jennings, Executive Producer, Frankie Drake Mysteries / Chairman & CEO, Shaftesbury.

Kew Media Distribution will showcase the new season of Frankie Drake Mysteries at MIPCOM alongside a strong slate of premium drama. This includes the brand new 90′ event drama Care (LA Productions for BBC One), from Emmy(R) and BAFTA award-winning writer Jimmy McGovern (The Street, Broken), which stars Sheridan Smith (Cilla) as a single mother struggling to raise her two children in the aftermath of a family tragedy. The new fifth season of the award-winning, critically acclaimed thriller Line of Duty (6 x one hour) from World Productions will make its debut, alongside the brand new instalment in the Bletchley Circle franchise – The Bletchley Circle: San Francisco (8 x one hour, An Omnifilm Entertainment production in association with BritBox LLC and World Productions).”

Yes, I’ll watch this show! WHERE is it! It was on Monday nights at 9 p.m. on CBC. Now I can’t find it. Is it going to broadcast in 2019?

I want to say it’s a guilty pleasure but it’s really better than that. It’s a fun show, even with a “murder of the week” premise. The four female leads all have excellent chemistry and the addition of Anthony Lemke was some smart casting. I look forward to more character development in season 3. No, I haven’t heard anything yet, but I’m hoping and praying for a 3rd season.

I was disappointed in the writing in the first episode. I really like Wendy Crewson, but no one can speak those lines coherently. I’ll watch a few more to be fair, but it isn’t Miss Fisher Mysteries. You’d need whole new writing staff for that.

A surprisingly good show that I wasn’t expecting to be so rich.
