Talk:Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries

Historical authenticity
I suspect that the charm of this series lies, for many, in the intense devotion to accuracy in regard to Melbourne society in the late twenties. As contrasted with luridly colourful plots that strain credulity.Or the extraordinary range of people involved in criminal activity that are personal acquaintances of Phryne. But would "Jack" Robinson in that era have freely announced to all his Masonic affiliation in the form of a Third Degree framed certificate placed prominently behind his desk?Koroke (talk) 22:29, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Amazing you noticed that detail. What was the episode? Titus III (talk) 05:04, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

Is Season 4 actually coming, or is that "wishful thinking"?
Someone (anonymous) added a sentence about Season 4 to come when it's ready. In the July 2015 Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries' Instagram-account confirmed that fourth episode is coming when it is done. (I assume they mean that a fourth SEASON is coming).

BUT Is Instagram a reliable source? AND Why is there no citation for this claim?

NOTE: in June 2016 started filming The White Princess (TV series) (8 episodes at minimum), playing Elizabeth Woodville. So how could she also film a TV series in Australia anytime soon??

In any event, I deleted it since there is no citation and not a single news agency confirms this claim! Peter K Burian (talk) 21:53, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
 * It is certainly not confirmed at this point. There have been reports of 'attempts' for a season 4 or a feature film, but nothing noteworthy or definitive at this point. -- Whats new?(talk) 23:34, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

The series is done. There's a faint possibility that there will be a movie, but that's all it is. But in any case, it's very misleading to have the article say "24 February 2012 – present" when the last series was 2015 and there are no more series commissioned and the star of the show is committed to other, much more lucrative, shows in the UK. How many years must a show be undead before it's admitted that it's not "present"? Insisting that a show is alive forever if no one actually says otherwise is foolish. The last episode was broadcast on 26 June 2015. That's what the infobox should state. If a new series somehow happens, it can be revised. But leaving at as "present" for years and years when nothing is happening is defying the facts. 202.81.249.118 (talk) 04:43, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

Overreaching the other way
Whoever edited the second paragraph "for clarity" added an element that is absent from any of our sources. The sources say her availability prevent her from being involved in a fourth season ; NOT that she is unavailable for a trilogy of films. In fact, the article on the film trilogy project explicitly note that project as a potential solution to her limited availability as a film require far less commitment than a full season of a TV series.

Stating that she is unavailable for the film (as the page currently does) is simply an unsupported conclusion. --Guillaume Hébert-Jodoin (talk) 00:26, 16 January 2017 (UTC)


 * It was probably me. Based on the sources I have read, the actress has excellent opportunities for work in England, etc. especially after appearing on Game of Thrones. Including the TV series she is now filming. The Australian series was a nice start that got her on the way to a serious international career. In an interview last year, Davis said her career trajectory was beyond anything she'd imagined. I'm still heading towards the top of Mount Everest," she said, "and my goals are way beyond what I've achieved." http://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/tv-radio/86723762/TVs-Miss-Fishers-Murder-Mysteries-set-to-become-an-action-movie-trilogy

However, I just found another source that does suggest she would consider a feature film. "Although she says no decision has been made about a fourth season yet, she confirms there is a film version is in the works: “[We’re] just working out the ideas of how to make it bigger and better and more fabulous than the TV show." https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2016/may/09/the-thousand-faces-of-essie-davis-people-dont-realise-im-the-same-person

Of course, that was before Game of Thrones and the TV series she is now shooting in England. AND this movie. "Later this year the actor will be seen in Mindhorn, a comedy scripted by the Mighty Boosh’s Julian Barratt and Simon Farnaby, starring Steve Coogan and Kenneth Branagh."

Bottom Line: I will re-write it. You are right. It is possible she would be available for a Miss Fisher movie. Peter K Burian (talk) 02:41, 16 January 2017 (UTC)


 * OK, I have revised that section:

''In late 2016, there were some plans for a movie trilogy featuring the character Phyrne Fisher.[1] However, the producers would need to wait until Essie Davis is available for filming. The actress now lives in England where she had a recurring role on Game of Thrones (Season 6),[2] and in June 2016 started filming The White Princess (TV series) (8 episodes at minimum), playing Elizabeth Woodville.[3] In May 2016, the actress said she would certainly consider appearing in a Miss Fisher film. "[We’re] just working out the ideas of how to make it bigger and better and more fabulous than the TV show."[4]'' Peter K Burian (talk) 14:21, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
