After almost 18 months, we have some exciting news for fellow My Life Is Murder fans. The fifth season premieres on Acorn TV on Monday, Jan. 5.

Yes, that’s tomorrow, but if you’re lucky, you’ll get to see it in the wee hours of the morning, so it’ll feel like it’s tonight! The fifth season has already aired in Australia and New Zealand (which isn’t all that surprising considering that’s where it has or does film, depending on the season) and now it’s time for us to see what Alexa Crowe is up to next.

What time is My Life Is Murder season 5 on Acorn TV?

The only place to watch the Lucy Lawless series is on Acorn TV, and you will not want to miss out. Shows usually drop around 3 a.m. ET/12 a.m. PT on the day of release. Like I said, if you stay up to watch it, it’ll feel like you’re watching it tonight.

The great news is that the episodes are there when you want to watch them. Only the My Life Is Murder season 5 premiere will drop on Monday, Jan. 5, with the whole season getting a much-needed weekly release, and with eight episodes to the season, you’ll be able to binge-watch on Monday, Feb. 23.

You can get Acorn TV as a standalone streaming platform. It is also available as an app via Prime Video Channels, allowing you to keep everything in one place — and you don’t pay more compared to the standalone app.

What to expect on the My Life Is Murder season 5 premiere

The very first episode will take Alexa Crowe into the world of competitive cheerleading. A fitness influencer suddenly dies while live streaming, and you know that Alexa can’t help but get involved in a mystery. Her tech whiz bestie Madison is right by her side with that one.

It turns out that the killer may be much closer to the cheer squad than initially believed. Was someone else the real target? Only time will tell as Alexa delves into the world of elite cheerleading.

The entire season will bring standalone cases for Alexa to solve, as usual. This season is going to be a big one when it comes to personal storylines, though, as a potential “one that got away” will come into the season at a later date. Also, can Alexa ever escape crime? It turns out probably not as it follows her on vacation!

My Life Is Murder airs Mondays on Acorn TV.
