Sylvia Fox travels to Umbria for her niece's wedding when the groom disappears, leaving her drawn into her first case and, soon after, a new life in Italy.
Ranked from the two series currently streaming in full. Season 3 is brand new as of October 2026, so we're leaving it out of the ranking until more of it has aired.
The series premiere sets up Sylvia's world in one go: a family wedding, a disappearance, and the beginning of her new life in Umbria.
A British TV Hub pick for its higher stakes, as an old foe resurfaces and Sylvia's family and Riva work to bring her home safely.
A British TV Hub pick for how it weaves community secrets and blackmail into a case that hits close to home for Sylvia's found family in Umbria.
A British TV Hub pick for pulling Sylvia's old MI6 life directly into her new one, as her ex-husband Adam asks for her help.
A British TV Hub pick for its undercover setup at a lakeside villa, giving Sylvia a chance to use her old tradecraft again.
A British TV Hub pick for its slower-burn dig into a decades-old disappearance, giving the Umbrian setting room to breathe.
Sylvia Fox — a former high-ranking MI6 operative trying to build a quieter life in Italy, though her old instincts and skills keep resurfacing.
Capitano Giovanni Riva — the local Carabinieri captain, and Sylvia's slow-burn love interest across the series.
Isabel Vitale — Sylvia's estranged sister, whose home in Umbria is what first draws Sylvia back into family life.
Adam Haines — Sylvia's ex-husband and former MI6 colleague, who keeps finding reasons to pull her back into that old world.
Creators Rachel Cuperman and Sally Griffiths bring that same fondness for close-knit community secrets to a completely different setting.
Filmed on location in Umbria and Lazio, the series leans into the region's hill towns and countryside as much as its mysteries.
Route 24 produces alongside Italian production partner Cattleya, giving the series a genuinely bicultural feel rather than a British show simply shot abroad.
Sylvia's new home is set around Panicale, a hill town in Italy's Umbria region. Season 2 expanded filming into parts of the neighboring Lazio region as well.
Official Season 3 trailer, released by Acorn TV, September 2026.
No. It tells original stories created by Rachel Cuperman and Sally Griffiths, who also wrote for Midsomer Murders. It isn't adapted from any novel.
Two series have aired so far — Season 1 in 2022 and Season 2 on July 29, 2024 — totalling six episodes. Season 3 premieres October 5, 2026 with three more feature-length, roughly 90-minute episodes, bringing the total to nine.
Primarily around Panicale, a hill town in Italy's Umbria region, with Season 2 also filming in parts of Lazio.
Acorn TV is Signora Volpe's US streaming home. It can also be accessed through the Acorn TV add-on channel purchased via Amazon — a separate paid subscription, not something included with a standard Prime membership.
Acorn TV lists Signora Volpe as TV-MA in the US.
Monday, October 5, 2026, exclusively on Acorn TV, with three new episodes.
Each series centers on its own set of mysteries, but Sylvia's relationships and personal history carry across seasons, so watching in order is recommended.
