Fans of Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries have been patiently awaiting news of a fourth season, but they will have to wait a bit longer it seems.
A decision doesn’t just come down to budgets, but the availability of star Essie Davis, according to ABC Director of Programming Brendan Dahill.
“I love Miss Fisher and we are currently trying to resolve the Miss Fisher conundrum, because Essie is living in London these days,” he told TV Tonight.
“She’s got young kids in school, in London and so, she doesn’t want to be away from them for 3 or 4 months at a go. So, there are some logistical issues that we are trying to resolve. We’d love to bring more Miss Fisher back, but it means finding an affordable way of doing it.”
There have been whispers creators Fiona Eagger and Deb Cox of Every Cloud Productions have considered a feature film.
“I think Fiona and Deb have talked about doing a Miss Fisher movie, we’ve also talked a Miss Fisher’s European vacation sort of thing, where she’s doing Miss Marple and solving crimes all over Europe. The are a number of iterations that we’ve come up with of Miss Fisher to keep that particular brand alive. Which means finding a logistical and financial way of making it happen,” says Dahill.
“There are challenges, none of which are creative, because we all want to continue, it’s just trying to find a way of doing it.
“Also, Essie’s now been cast in Game of Thrones and she’s doing some movies while she’s based in London, which puts pressure on her time as well. So, we want to keep Miss Fisher alive.
“We just need to find a way to do it, which is a challenge.”

The show is really popular in America. Maybe they could source funding from one of the new digital Networks?
