Midsomer Murders Season 25 (2025) โ Countryside Murder is Back, and Weirder Than Ever!
Confirmed by both ITV and Acorn TV, the new season will feature four all-new feature-length episodes, with Neil Dudgeon returning as the unflappable DCI John Barnaby, alongside Fiona Dolman as his wife Sarah, and Nick Hendrix as the ever-curious DS Jamie Winter.
Per the showโs production history, this will bring the total to 25 seasons, 140 episodes, and 1 special โ a remarkable legacy for a detective series that has turned quaint countryside crimes into an art form.

A Familiar Formula with Wonderfully Weird Twists
If you thought rural England had run out of suspects and surprises, think again.
Season 25 sticks to the signature recipe:
A peaceful village, a not-so-peaceful corpse, and a slew of eccentric suspects, all brimming with secrets and scandal. Think Agatha Christie meets The League of Gentlemen โ with a dash of cheddar on top.
But this time, the show goes gloriously off the rails with a string of hilariously bizarre murders, including:
-
โA murder inside an extremist cat lovers’ societyโ โ where feline obsession turns fearfully fatal.
-
โA killer wielding folk instruments as weaponsโ โ because nothing says danger like a fiddle, a flute, or a homicidal ukulele.
-
โMurder at the Cheese Festivalโ โ perhaps the most delightfully absurd episode title in the showโs long history. A crime so sharp, it could grate parmesan.
Classic Charm Meets British Wit
Midsomer Murders has always stood out for its unique blend of macabre mystery and subtle comedy. Season 25 continues that tradition, with stories that are clever, twisted, and charmingly absurd. The show balances genuine suspense with a wink and a nudge โ the kind of humor that makes viewers chuckle uncomfortably while still glued to the clues.
What the Fans Are Saying:
Early buzz on forums like Reddit, YouTube, and IMDb has been overwhelmingly positive:

Why You Should Watch
Midsomer Murders Season 25 is more than just another sequel โ itโs a testament to the enduring power of the classic British whodunnit. The show proves that with the right mix of atmosphere, charm, and twisted imagination, a detective series can still thrive even after two decades.
Whether youโre a long-time fan or a newcomer looking for something wonderfully weird, Season 25 is a must-watch in 2025. Because in Midsomer, murder is eternal โ and always a little bit mad.
