Acorn TV orders more of the Alicia Silverstone drama.
September 8, 2025
Acorn TV announced today that Irish Blood has been renewed for a second season. The news comes as the murder mystery drama wraps its 6-episode freshman run.
Since its August debut, the Ireland-set series has become the most successful series in Acorn TV history, ranking #1 in both viewership and subscriber acquisition, based on the first three weeks of U.S. viewership.
"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 star and executive producer Alicia Silverstone. "We're so happy to have found a captive audience who enjoyed the ride from beginning to end."
"Thanks to Alicia Silverstone and everything she has brought to this series, both as a star and executive producer, from the moment it was just an idea all the way to it becoming the most successful series in the history of Acorn TV," said Rob Fox, executive vice president of production for AMC Networks. "Thanks also to our entire cast, writers, producers and partners at Shaftesbury and Deadpan Pictures for everything that went into a remarkable first season of Irish Blood. Acorn TV is the best streaming service in the world for thrilling crime dramas and brilliant mysteries. We are so grateful for the way our subscribers have embraced this series and can't wait to get started on season two."
The show stars Silverstone as Fiona Fox, a lawyer whose father seemingly abandoned her and her mother on her tenth birthday. After years spent channeling anger toward him, to the benefit of her litigious clients, a message from her dad brings her to Ireland. There Fiona learns key truths about her father as well as a family that doesn't know she exists. She also discovers the story of abandonment that has shaped her entire life was a lie intended to protect her and her mother from her father's shady business dealings.
Six new episodes have been ordered for Season 2 of Irish Blood, with production slated to begin in early 2026

I stopped watching after the 2nd episode. The story line was abysmal, the acting was awful, and the characters were so predictable. There are so many shows that need cancelling.
This show is a waste of time and money. Very disappointed with this decision.

Another series about how those Irish in states think the old country is really like, utter crap.
