Signora Volpe is poised to be another breakout hit for Acorn TV.
The streaming service today revealed the official trailer and premiere date for the three-part detective drama series starring Emilia Fox.
The series was filmed on location in the stunning Lazio and Umbria regions in Italy, and will make its debut Monday, May 2, on Acorn TV, AMC Networks’ acclaimed streamer devoted to British and international television.
Episodes will continue to debut on Mondays through May 16.
"To the casual observer, there’s nothing remarkable about Sylvia Fox (Fox) - an intelligent, confident woman in her forties, she tends to keep quiet about her formidable linguistic abilities, impressive knowledge of weaponry, and skills as a markswoman," reads the official description of the series.
"Questions about her professional life are met with bland answers about an unspectacular career in the Civil Service."
"Which is only very slightly true – because until recently, Sylvia was a high-ranking British spy.

David Tennant (Doctor Who) and Emily Watson are set to star in a movie called Quicksand. And no, this isn’t a movie where David Tennant gets stuck in quicksand and Emily Watson has to save him. It’s a little bit more heavy than that.
This movie is a psychological thriller that centers on British couple Dan (Tennant) and Sarah (Watson) who are living out their dream in the Mediterranean. “But their paradise comes to an abrupt end when their visiting son is murdered by a local youth.

The movie is being directed by Humans and Troy: Fall of a City TV director Mark Brozel. This will be his first feature film project. This film would also reunite Tennant...
