Ten facts about The Madame Blanc Mysteries tell the story at a glance.

Is there a season 5 of Madame Blanc?

Fans are eager to know whether The Madame Blanc Mysteries will return for a fifth season. As of November 2025, no official renewal has been announced (Wikipedia). Series 4 aired in 2025 and concluded the current story arc.

Current status of season 5

• No renewal confirmed by Channel 5 or Acorn TV (Wikipedia)
• Series 4 finale serves as a potential series ender (Wikipedia)

What the creator has said

Sally Lindsay, the show’s creator and star, told Good Housekeeping that she and the team “had such a wonderful response that we’d love to do more.” The statement suggests optimism but no formal greenlight.

What village is The Madame Blanc Mysteries filmed in?

The show’s visual magic is its biggest surprise: the fictional French village Sainte Victoire is actually built from real Maltese locations.

The real filming location: Gozo, Malta

• The entire series is shot on the island of Gozo, Malta (Good To)
• Gozo’s Mediterranean landscape doubles for the South of France (The Crave Traveler)

Why Gozo doubles as the South of France

Gozo offers honey-coloured limestone buildings, dramatic coastal cliffs, and narrow winding streets that closely resemble the Provençal countryside. Production designers add French signage and details to complete the illusion (The Crave Traveler).

Specific villages used: Xlendi, Mġarr

• Series 1 used the village of Sannat for Sainte Victoire (Wikipedia)
• Series 2 and 3 moved to Għarb (Wikipedia)
• Jean White’s house is Villa Birzit in Xaghra (The Crave Traveler)
• The Victoria Local Council town hall serves as the Musée du Sainte Victoire (The Crave Traveler)

What this means: The show’s visual authenticity relies on Gozo’s Mediterranean charm, but the village swap between seasons breaks the illusion for eagle-eyed fans.

Is Madame Blanc Mysteries worth watching?

With an IMDb rating of 7.2/10, the show sits comfortably in the cozy mystery sweet spot. Let’s look at what critics and audiences say.

Critical reception and ratings

• IMDb rating: 7.2/10
• Rotten Tomatoes audience score is not yet aggregated, but user reviews on Reddit and Facebook groups are consistently positive

Audience reviews

Viewers praise the show’s relaxed pacing, picturesque setting, and Sally Lindsay’s warm performance. Some critics note that the mysteries are less complex than traditional whodunits, but that fits the “cozy” genre appeal.

What makes it unique

The series stands out for its cross-location production — a British show set in France but filmed in Malta. That geographic triple layer adds a conversation starter beyond the crime plots.

The verdict: Cozy mystery fans will find a charming escape, while those seeking complex plots may be left wanting more depth.

Where can I watch Madame Blanc Mysteries season 4?

Season 4 is available across several platforms depending on your region.

Relationship timeline

Does Robin Askwith live in Malta?

Robin Askwith, who plays Jeremy in the series, does indeed reside in Malta (Wikipedia).

The veteran British actor is best known for the Confessions films and has appeared in numerous TV shows. His move to Malta came years before The Madame Blanc Mysteries began production.

His move to Malta

Askwith has said in interviews: “I moved to Malta years ago and love it here.” The proximity to the Gozo filming location made his casting a natural fit.
