Acorn TV’s “Darby & Joan” returns with a new episode on Monday, January 13, 2025, at 3:01 AM EST. This fourth installment of the second season finds the unlikely duo of Greta Scacchi’s widowed nurse, Joan, and Bryan Brown’s retired detective, Jack, embroiled in a new outback mystery. This time, it’s a winery fire that nearly claims the life of an employee.
Set against the stark backdrop of the Australian outback, “Darby & Joan” continues to explore the individual struggles of its lead characters. Joan searches for answers regarding her husband’s death, while Jack tries to outrun his past. Their paths converge as they become an investigative team, solving mysteries in the vast Australian landscape.
This week’s winery fire presents a fresh challenge. Is it an accident, or something more sinister? The episode will likely focus on the pair’s contrasting investigative styles as they tackle the case. Joan, grounded and empathetic, likely connects with the people affected, while Jack, more world-weary and cynical, probably looks for the angles.
New episodes of “Darby & Joan” air Mondays on Acorn TV.
