As of now, Acorn TV and BBC First have not officially announced the renewal of The Chelsea Detective for a fourth season. However, the show's strong fanbase and critical acclaim make it a strong candidate for continuation. When Could Season 4 Premiere?

Season 2 aired in August 2023. Season 3 began in October 2024. Assuming a similar production cycle, Season 4 could target a late 2025 or early 2026 premiere, likely between August and October 2026, if renewed promptly. Filming typically takes several months, followed by post-production, so a 12-18 month gap between seasons is standard.
