The Madame Blanc Mysteries future officially confirmed

The Madame Blanc Mysteries future officially confirmed

The Madame Blanc Mysteries is returning for a fifth season on 5 – and filming is already underway on the next episodes. Sally Lindsay leads the cast of the cosy crime hit, playing amateur sleuth and antiques dealer Jean White, whose presence at any event has become a rather bad omen for her fellow guests. Jean unravels a different suspicious death in each episode, with help and support from fiancé Dom (Steve Edge), friend Gloria (Sue Vincent) as well as comical couple Jeremy and Judith Lloyd James (played by Robin Askwith and Sue Holderness, respectively). Fans can expect to see all these much-loved characters return in The Madame Blanc Mysteries season 5, alongside co-stars Alex Gaumond (as Chief of Police André Caron), Tony Robinson (as Uncle Patrick), Paul ‘Chuckle’ Elliott (as Trevor) and Stephen Bailey (as gangster John Marsden). The synopsis, courtesy of 5, teases: “As Jean and Dom plan their wedding, nothing can prepare them for the unseen obstacles that crop up along the way.” Want to see this content?

The painting notoriously drew derision and criticism when Sargent first showed it in 1884, but he later called it “the best thing I have done.” The Costume Institute fundraiser’s dress code this year is “fashion is art,” and the reference is an intentional one. Schiaparelli’s founder, Elsa Schiaparelli, is also closely tied to Surrealism, the avant-garde, 1920s artistic movement inspired by dreams and the subconscious. The French fashion house is a familiar one to Sánchez Bezos. For her 2025 wedding to Jeff Bezos in Venice, she wore a Schiaparelli haute couture look to their welcome dinner. And this January, she attended the brand’s haute couture show in Paris. Nicole Kidman, Lauren Sánchez Bezos, and Anna Wintour. …
