The latest instalment will unfold across three 90-minute episodes, streaming on Acorn TV. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"9\" class=\"css-14bo8h1 emevuu60\">The show, which first debuted in 2022, centres around Sylvia Fox, a former British spy who decides to retire in Panicale. However, soon after moving to the quaint Italian town, she begins solving a number of local crimes. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"13\" class=\"css-14bo8h1 emevuu60\">Season three will pick up from the events of season two, which saw Sylvia abducted while trying to solve a murder. As she tries to move past her traumatic ordeal, she finds herself facing even more dangerous investigations, which start to hit closer to home.<\/p>\n<p><img draggable=\"true\" alt=\"emilia fox, signora volpe season 3\" title=\"Emilia Fox, Signora Volpe Season 3\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"3000\" height=\"2000\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;width:100%;height:auto;\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/6ead8804-e4aa-44d7-abc2-c80a398949a0.jpg\" class=\"css-0 e1ddfba50\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Acorn TV<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"18\" class=\"css-14bo8h1 emevuu60\">Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalspy.com\/tech\/best-tech-deals\/g35899960\/best-streaming-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.digitalspy.com\/tech\/best-tech-deals\/g35899960\/best-streaming-services\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"Best streaming services\" data-node-id=\"18.1\" class=\"body-link css-1gyyefe emevuu60\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Best streaming services<\/a><\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"22\" class=\"css-14bo8h1 emevuu60\">Fox is reprising her leading role opposite Giovanni Cirfiera as Capitano Riva, Tara Fitzgerald as Isabel Vitale and Matteo Carlomagno as Matteo Vitale.
