The 30th anniversary of the debut of “Xena: Warrior Princess” was celebrated last year. Although the show ended over 20 years ago after six seasons, its star Lucy Lawless still has a dedicated fan base eager to follow her career. One of Lawless’s recent projects is the Acorn TV mystery series “My Life is Murder,” where she portrays Alexa Crowe, a retired detective who gets pulled back into solving crimes. The show has been renewed for a fifth season, with production taking place in Lawless’s home country of New Zealand.
“My Life is Murder” follows Alexa Crowe, a former detective who can’t resist a mystery, as she teams up with a tech analyst and a local detective to crack difficult cases. The show originally took place in Melbourne, Australia, but later seasons are set in Auckland, New Zealand. Each season has featured a set number of episodes, with the upcoming fifth season including eight new thrilling cases.
Lawless is joined by a talented cast including Ebony Vagulans, Rawiri Jobe, Joe Naufahu, and Martin Henderson. The fifth season will also feature guest appearances from Dean O’Gorman, Fern Sutherland, Rhys Darby, Keisha Castle-Hughes, Cohen Holloway, Johnny Barker, Marta Dusseldorp, Kirk Torrance, and Nicole Whippy. Fans can catch “My Life is Murder” on Acorn TV and other streaming platforms.
The fifth season is set to premiere on January 5, 2026, with episodes releasing weekly. While viewers eagerly await the new season, they can get a glimpse of what’s to come by watching the official trailer. Stay tuned for more updates on the exciting mysteries Alexa and her team will solve in the upcoming season of “My Life is Murder.”
