Season 3. Quite an ending. I see there will be a movie now, picking up where Season 3 left off, coming out in late 2018 or, more likely, 2019.
Miss Fisher plans don't end with a movie, though. They also have a prequel TV spin-off in mind focused on a younger version of Phryne on some of her first mysteries. The show is tentatively titled: Miss Fisher's First Murder Mysteries, and it already has author Kerry Greenwood's blessing. Eagger explains the rough synopsis of the show:
That will be a younger Phryne Fisher. She is 18, her family has come into money, and shes in the UK at a finishing school. She gets word that her best friend from Melbourne is charged of murder and is heading for the gallows. She escapes [from the finishing school] and comes back [to Australia] to save her friend ... On the run is where she learns a lot of her [sleuthing] skills.
So, stay tuned!
I have not read any of the books but I see my library does have the very first one, Cocaine Blues, so I will most likely pick that up soon. Ms Greenwood has written a whole bunch of other books, as well.
Happy cycling in 2018!
