The Brokenwood Mysteries Season 8
Was The Brokenwood Mysteries cancelled or renewed for season 8? When does it start on Acorn TV? Who will be returning for the new season? In this post, we have summarized everything we know so far about the next season.
What Is The Brokenwood Mysteries About?
Detective Inspector Mike Shepherd probes murder mysteries in a New Zealand country town.
Detective Inspector Mike Shepherd is sent from Auckland to Brokenwood to investigate a local police officer. With a possible murder investigation underway that might link the two, Shepherd takes charge. After the investigation Shepherd reassesses his life and decides to stay on indefinitely, even though it means a demotion to Detective Senior Sergeant. Brokenwood is a seemingly quiet country town where Shepherd, who has an unconventional approach to police work, is assisted by local Detective Kristin Sims, who is precise and efficient at her job, to solve murders. As the series progresses the working relationship between the two moves from rocky to functional as they begin to appreciate each other’s talents.
Regarded by many as the New Zealand version of Midsomer Murders, this acclaimed detective series filmed amid the beautiful landscape of the country’s North returns with six feature-length, standalone mysteries featuring compelling characters, dry humor, and piquant wit. After transferring from a big city to the quiet, little, murder-ridden town of Brokenwood, Detective Senior Sergeant Mike Shepherd (Neill Rea, Go Girls) and Detective Kristin Simms (Fern Sutherland, The Almighty Johnsons) uncover more macabre goings on and investigate murderous rivalries and lethal grudges.
This quirky New Zealand mystery follows DI Mike Shepherd, who arrives to the seemingly peaceful town of Brokenwood with a classic car, a country music collection, and an indeterminate number of ex-wives. His assistant, DC Kristin Sims, is a by-the-book investigator 15 years younger than her boss’s car. Shepherd soon discovers that Brokenwood is full of secrets and suspicions.
The last episode of the series was released on May 4, 2021 in the US.

I am in the US, where there is very little on cable, so I began watching the Brokenwood Mysteries. Having binge-watched the whole thing, please, please, please continue this terrific series. The acting is great, and I have yet to know for certain who dunnit. The ensemble cast is really very nice to see. Please give it another go. May come over and watch what's on US cable. This show is so far superior. Please do it again.
JUST LOVE THIS SHOW PLEASE RETURN FOR A SEASON 8!!
Love this show something my husband and I can agree on to watch please renew !!!!
Please renew this!
A true hidden gem. If you liked Midsomer Murders or Elementary, you’ll like Brokenwood.
I love this show. I rate it next to midsomer mystery. The content is unusual, acting is superb, including the vast choice of actors. Then the scenery is catchy, beautiful. I hope it returns.
Absolutely love the show–the location, the actors (Chalmers is a great addition.), the mysteries, the Brokenwood denizens, like Mrs. Marlowe, the Neilsons, Frodo, etc.
It would be a shame if Mike left or took a sabbatical (as Tania (sp) suggested). I just wish we in the states got it sooner.
We love Brokenwood! PLEASE have a Season 8…and 9…and…????
Love this show! It is written with a sense of humor and my husband and I love all the recurring town characters. Please make a season 8.
Absolutely LOVE Brokenwood. The actors are great as are the characters they portray! Don’t want it to end; can hardly wait for Season 8!
In the US. Just watched the last episode available. Please make another season. We love this series. Very well written and we adore the cast.
Love, Love, Love Brokenwood Mysteries. Please bring it back for Season 8 and beyond (although I personally think it is time for a new M.E. the character of Gina is not good) every other character is totally hilarious and enjoyable.
Please don't stop love the show waiting patiently for season 8
I also live in the US and love Brokenwood, started Acorn because of Murdoch Mysteries, but love Brokenwood, Miss Fisher, and Mid Summer, please continue all.
Love this series. The actors are all top notch. The "mysteries " are so much fun.Looking forward to season 8.
Please renew Brokenwood Mysteries on Acorn TV. I subscribe to Acorn TV for this show and Midsomer Murders and Count Arthur Strong, three of my favorite shows. I can only rewatch the same episodes for so long. Please renew!
I keep checking hoping to see that it’s been renewed. I miss these people!
This is the best show going anywhere. I live in the U.S. and can't hardly wait for season 8. The writers and actors do their parts so well I've begun to consider the characters as friends and neighbors. It's crazy and I love it. I hope it continues for many seasons. Brokenwood has it's own special flavor and I am addicted to the taste. Thanks to all who make this a great one.
I, like many of the previous posters, loved in the US and simply love The Brokenwood Mysteries. I so hope this show is renewed as it these so of the elements that are missing in too many television shows- great writing, great ensemble chemistry, great story lines and really funny running gags. Please renew this show.
I hope this show is renewed!! I love it! I just finished watching all the episodes, and I’m heartbroken that there aren’t any more. I will keep checking to see if it is renewed.
Very entertaining. We have enjoyed every series. Please continue it!
We spent three weeks in New Zealand before COVID and found the people and the country to be thoroughly engaging and delightful. The wines are superb.
I’m with everyone else. PLEASE sir, I want some more!
I keep my Acorn subscription just to get Brokenwood. Other shows I can watch on multiple sites but Brokenwood is on Acorn. A great show. I hope there is a season 8….and more!
I love this show. Please let there be a Season 8. I have started rewatching all 7 seasons again!
From US. Love this show. Not much good to watch here. Most of my favorite shows are on Acorn. Please release season 8.
Love the show. Hope is renewed. Just finishing season 7 and will start re-watching all seasons again. Please just renewed.
I really love this show with all its quirky town characters and strange murders. Plus I enjoy hearing the NZ country music! Please, please renew it!
Terrific show, season 7 had some of the best episodes yet (the bank robbery). Hoping for renewal.
