My Life Is Murder Season 6: Is the Hit Crime Drama Coming Back or Calling It Quits?

If you just wrapped this week’s My Life Is Murder and you’re wondering whether Alexa Crowe is coming back for more chaos, same. Here’s where things stand after a season that kept the breezy-macabre tone humming.

So, is Season 6 happening?

Short version: there’s no official renewal or cancellation yet. That’s normal for this show. Based on how Season 5 landed and the steady fan base, a pickup would not surprise me. The decision window can be slow, too. Last time around, Season 4 aired its finale on July 8, 2024, and Season 5 wasn’t announced until February 7, 2025 — roughly a seven-month wait. Expect a similar pause before anyone plants a flag.

When might it arrive?

The series launched in 2019 and has rolled out five seasons with about 18–24 months between them. If that pattern holds, pencil in roughly two years for the next batch, with any formal announcement coming closer to release.

The show in a nutshell

My Life Is Murder is an Australian–New Zealand crime-comedy anchored by Lucy Lawless as Alexa Crowe, a former detective turned private investigator who keeps getting dragged into cases and can’t help herself. Season 5 kept the momentum going — sharp puzzles, snark intact — with Alexa assisting Detective Harry Henare while leaning on her usual crew: a reformed hacker, a very capable brother, and a cafe owner with excellent timing.

• Lucy Lawless as PI Alexa Crowe
• Ebony Vagulans as Madison Feliciano
• Bernard Curry as DI Kieran Hussey
• Rawiri Jobe as Detective Harry Henare
• Alex Andreas as George Stathopoulos
• Joe Naufahu as Reuben Wulf
• Recurring: Martin Henderson as Will Crowe

Where to watch now

In New Zealand, the show airs on TVNZ 1. In the United States, it streams on Acorn TV. All eight episodes of Season 5 are available to stream right now.

Bottom line: no decision yet, but I wouldn’t bet against Season 6. When the renewal dust settles, I’ll shout.
