AGATHA RAISIN: Executive producer Barry Ryan on the AcornTV series – Exclusive Interview
AGATHA RAISIN is now streaming its first three seasons on AcornTV, with a fourth season commissioned. Based on the series of comedic murder mysteries by the late M.C. Beaton (real name Marion Chesney Gibbons), AGATHA RAISIN stars Ashley Jensen as title character, a well-to-do former p.r. woman who moves to the English countryside and finds herself compelled to investigate local crime.
AGATHA RAISIN has an unconventional production history. Season 1 premiered in 2014. It then was out of production until 2018, when Season 2 was finally made.
Executive producer Barry Ryan, who has been with AGATHA RAISIN since its inception, sits down to discuss the series. David Walton, Ryan’s producing partner on AGATHA RAISIN and in their production company Free @ Last TV, is also in the room, but chimes in relatively rarely.
