New series
River

Ms. Fisher’s Modern Murder Mysteries
Premieres 8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 3
In this spin-off to the wildly popular Australian mystery series, Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, Phryne Fisher’s long-lost niece, Peregrine (Geraldine Hakewill), decides to follow in her stylish footsteps as a lady detective for a new era.

New seasons
Sister Boniface Mysteries
Season 2 premieres 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 3
The acclaimed light-hearted murder-mystery series returns, along with its eponymous Vespa-driving, crime-solving Catholic nun.
It’s the 1960s and Sister Boniface, with her aptitude for detective work, is an invaluable asset to the Great Slaughter Police Department. Her faith in forensics is only rivaled by her passion for investigation. If there’s evidence to be found, Boniface will find it. In this series, the sister forces a murderer into checkmate at a chess tournament, takes a spin at a pirate radio station, confronts a coven of witches and defends her own reputation as the conviction of her greatest adversary, “The Good Samaritan,” comes into question.
Doc Martin
Final season premieres 8 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 8
In the tenth and final season, a year has passed since Martin (Martin Clunes) resigned his medical license, and his wife, Louisa (Caroline Catz), is now the one seeing patients in her new career change as a child counselor, while he looks after their two young children. But does the Doc truly never want to practice medicine again?
Barbara says:
I so enjoyed the last season of Doc Martin
I love that show so much
Davie says:
Why call Doc Martin a new season?
Alyssa Beno says:
Because it is a new season.
Lisa Schiesser says:
No it is NOT a new season. They are finished with every part of Doc Martin. When you advertise A NEW season you are making it seem like it is returning and they are creating “new seasons” the fact is they are NOT. Not helpful. To all the people who LOVE Doc Martin this just reminds us that it is OVER. So stop lying to us!
Alyssa Beno says:
To viewers of PBS Wisconsin, it is a new season.
The 10th and final season had its new season premiere on PBS Wisconsin on Feb. 8, 2024.
