Alicia Silverstone’s "Irish Blood" Renewed for Season 2

 Amid strong ratings, Acorn TV has renewed Alicia Silverstone's murder mystery series "Irish Blood" for a second season.

The news comes as the show debuts its Season 1 finale on Monday.

The Ireland-set six-episode series is the most successful in Acorn TV history.

It has ranked No. 1 in both viewership and subscriber acquisition, based on the first three weeks of U.S. viewership. The series has also achieved a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Season 2, which again will be set and produced in Ireland, will also consist of six, hour-long episodes and will launch production in early 2026.

“It means so much to continue this journey with a character I love. Thank you to everyone who’s watched and supported, and to the phenomenal Irish crew and actors who made working there such a joy, and to the entire team across this series,” said Silverstone. “We’re so happy to have found a captive audience who enjoyed the ride from beginning to end.”

Season 1 of "Irish Blood" focuses on Fiona Fox (Silverstone), whose path in life is earmarked by her father, who seemingly abandoned her and her mother on her tenth birthday.

After years of channeling anger toward him, to the benefit of her litigious clients, a message from her father sends her to Ireland.

There she learns key truths about her father as well as a family that doesn’t know she exists, and that the story of abandonment that has shaped her entire life – was a lie. A lie intended to protect her and her mother from her father’s shady business dealings.

Fiona resolves to uncover the full truth about her father and reconnect with the parent she only thought she knew.

Season 1 also stars Jason O’Mara, Wendy Crewson, Dearbhla Molloy, Simone Kirby, Ruth Codd, and Leonardo Taiwo.

"Irish Blood" is executive produced by Christina Jennings, Scott Garvie, Paul Donovan, Ailish McElmeel, Christina Ray, Aaron Martin, Silverstone and Molly McGlynn, who also directs Season 1.

The series is produced by Shaftesbury and Deadpan Pictures, in association with AMC Studios and Fís Éireann /Screen Ireland and with the support of incentives for the Irish Film Industry provided by the government of Ireland, the Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit and Ontario Creates. AMC Studios holds worldwide distribution rights.
