Meet Mrs Sidhu (Syal), a caterer from...

Mrs. Sidhu Investigates looks set to be an engaging mystery series with a comedic lick of humor.

The new drama series, headlined by Meera Syal, premieres Monday, September 18, on Acorn TV.

TV Fanatic scored an exclusive first look at the series premiere in which Mrs Sidhu goes up against Dci Burton (Craig Parkinson).

Mrs. Sidhu, a caterer with a taste for solving crimes, is shocked when her niece, Rani, is taken away for questioning after some incriminating evidence.

All of this happens on Mrs. Sidhu's first day catering at Sharpetone, a high-end health club.

Things take a shocking turn when two bodies are found inside the spa.

Initially, Mrs. Sidhu is far more concerned with staying out of the drama until her niece is hauled in for questioning.

Mrs. Sidhu poses plenty of questions to Burton, who is taken aback at the fact that he should be asking the questions.

Acorn TV has been killing it with its mystery dramas filmed across the pond, and its latest looks like another murder-filled winner.

The streaming service has shared a promo of the series premiere of Mrs Sidhu Investigates, and let's say we're hungry for more.

Mrs. Sidhu Investigates stars Meera Syal, Gurjeet Singh (Ackley Bridge), Craig Parkinson, and Naana Agyei-Ampadu (Death in Paradise).

Mrs Sidhu Investigates follows Mrs. Sidhu (Syal), a high-end caterer with a taste for crime who solves murders and other ghastly crimes amongst the affluent residents of Berkshire.

A lifetime of being an "Indian Aunty," invisible to the elite, has sharpened her skills as an investigator: an instinct for truth, a warmth with people and a persistent sense of nosiness.

Recently widowed, Mrs. Sidhu juggles her new catering business with wrangling her wayward son, Tez (Singh), all while serving up justice to those who believe they are above the law.
