Season 13 of The Brokenwood Mysteries has not been officially confirmed or announced as of May 2026.<\/p>\n
Season 12 (often called Series 12 in New Zealand) is the latest season. It premiered on Acorn TV on April 6, 2026 (with weekly episodes), and features the usual six ~90-minute episodes. It has also aired or is airing on TVNZ 1\/TVNZ+ in New Zealand.<\/p>\n
Season 12 wrapped filming in November 2025 and released on schedule in April 2026.<\/p>\n
The show remains popular with strong international streaming performance on Acorn TV (and availability on platforms like PBS, Prime Video in some regions, etc.).<\/p>\n
Wikipedia lists 11 series as of its last major update, with Season 12 confirmed as released.<\/p>\n
No official renewal announcement yet. Renewals for this long-running series (which began in 2014) typically come after a season airs and performs well, often following a familiar annual or near-annual cycle.<\/p>\n
The show has a reliable production track record from South Pacific Pictures, with consistent cast (led by Neill Rea as Mike Shepherd and Fern Sutherland as Kristin Sims) and no major signs of ending.<\/p>\n
Fans and some outlets have speculated about future seasons due to the show\u2019s steady success, but nothing concrete has emerged.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a cozy crime drama\/comedy with feature-length episodes (originally 4 per season, then 6 from Season 7 onward).<\/p>\n
Set in a quirky fictional New Zealand town, it blends murder mysteries with humor and character development.<\/p>\n
As of Season 12, there are over 60 episodes total.<\/p>\n
A thirteenth series of the long-running and highly regarded television programme appears almost certain, but there has not been a public announcement yet. An announcement regarding series 13 is likely to occur sometime in 2026 after the completion of series 12, including any evaluations of series 12. The best sources of information will be Acorn TV, TVNZ, as well as their official Facebook and Instagram accounts. Meanwhile, series 12 can be freely watched!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
