You can watch "The Marlow Murder Club" online from anywhere with a VPN (try risk-free) – and in some cases even for free.

• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN 100% risk free

That shift in status really matters because it puts Judith, Suzie, and Becks closer to the center of each case and raises the stakes as season 3 leans into three separate two-part mysteries across six episodes. The season opens with "The Queen of Poisons", adapted from Robert Thorogood’s novel, in which Marlow’s mayor dies suddenly in circumstances that suggest no obvious motive.

As the season unfolds across the other two-part mysteries, the club’s knack for noticing what others overlook proves crucial once again, whether they’re investigating the suspicious collapse of a celebrity chef at a glamorous cookbook launch or untangling the secrets that surface during a tense university reunion at a remote manor house.

Below, you’ll find the release schedule, how to stream "The Marlow Murder Club" from anywhere with a VPN, and what’s confirmed so far for viewers worldwide.
