If you’re anything like us, you’ve been hoping for a return of Xena: Warrior Princess! While there will be no official reunion, Xena actresses Lucy Lawless and Renee O’Connor will rejoin in season 2 of the AcornTV comedy My Life is Murder.
Season 2 of the gripping murder mystery series is set in stunning New Zealand and boasts a slew of great guest performers, including William Shatner (Star Trek), Martin Henderson (Grey’s Anatomy), and Michelle Ang (Fear The Walking Dead).
Here’s everything we know about season 2 of My Life is Murder thus far.
What is the plot of My Life is Murder?
In the Australian murder-mystery series My Life is Murder, Lucy Lawless (Xena: Warrior Princess, Ash vs Evil Dead) plays Alexa Crowe, a sophisticated and confident retired homicide detective (and current bread maker).
Alexa can’t get enough of a good mystery, so when a former coworker and lifelong friend, Detective Inspector Kieran Hussey (Bernard Curry), asks her to “consult” on one of his more difficult cases, she is hesitant but can’t say no.
Madison, who is effervescent, sardonic, ambitious, and grounded, joins Alexa in her quest to solve the unsolvable (Ebony Vagulans). Madison works as a data analyst for the police and is available at Alexa’s request to perform what she does best.
In season 2 of My Life is Murder, what happens?
Alexa returns to her native nation of New Zealand in season 2 of My Life is Murder—and, she hopes, far away from any murders or mysteries. However, Inspector Hussey, who has profited from Alexa’s crime-solving abilities, advises his buddy, a fellow detective in Aukland, to look up Alexa if he has any cases that require a fresh pair of eyes. He summons Alexa, who becomes embroiled in the investigation of a self-help guru’s death and finds herself in a cat-and-mouse game with the victim’s intriguing wife (O’Connor).
My Life is Murder takes place where?
The first season was set in Melbourne, Australia, while the second is set in Auckland, New Zealand.
My Life is Murder has ten episodes in its first season. Season 2 will include ten episodes as well.
