Sister Boniface Mysteries season 3 sees the cozy crime hit returning for a new series of cases. The series has already arrived in the US, but is coming to the UK very soon!
After being caught in a blizzard en route home in the 2023 Sister Boniface Christmas Special, Lorna Watson's sleuthing nun is back on our screens to tackle a fresh set of mysteries.
Life in Great Slaughter seems as dangerous as ever. This third series opens with "Never Too Deadly To Die", a James Bond-themed episode that sees one of the stars screen-testing to be the next "Agent Best" ending up murdered. Plus, Detective Sam Gillespie (Max Brown) has to contend with seeing Ruth with her new beau, Kingsley Markham.
