In Harry Wild, Seymour plays a recently retired English professor who discovers a real knack for investigation and cannot help but interfere with the cases assigned to her police detective son.

Seymour (The Kominsky Method, Dr Quinn Medicine Woman, Live & Let Die) also serves as co-executive producer on Harry Wild, which has been created and co-written by David Logan (Last Christmas).

The 8×60’ drama is from LA-based production and distribution company Dynamic Television (Trapped, Madiba, Van Helsing), which is also handling the international rights.

Catherine Mackin, MD of Acorn Media Enterprises, said: “Harry Wild is the latest series of Acorn TV’s growing staple of mystery dramas led by strong female investigators – a category that has long resonated with our audiences.”
