The first two seasons are currently available to watch in the U.S. on the free streaming service Amazon Freevee. Prime Video customers will also be able watch Seasons One and Two later this summer. Set on the sun-drenched and glamorous island of Mallorca, The Mallorca Files centers around ambitious British detective Miranda Blake (Elen Rhys, Consent, The One That Got Away) and her laid-back German partner Max Winter (Julian Looman, The Ibiza Affair, Constellation), who make up the perfect team – if only they could see it.
In Season Three, amid high-stakes adventures, treasure hunts, arson, kidnappings, and murders, Max and Miranda’s personal tensions and odd-couple partnership are put to the test. Overseeing their cases is the mercurial and volatile Inés Villegas (María Fernández Ache, Lost in Karastan). The new season plays host to an array of international guest stars including Enrique Arce (Money Heist), Philippe Brenninkmeyer (Mad Men), Charlie Higson (The Fast Show), Michael Jibson (Bodies), David Mora (Memento Mori), Elena Saurel (Buffering), and Leonor Watling (Cities).
Ben Donald, executive producer of The Mallorca Files said, “Introducing global audiences to the stunning island of Mallorca and the world of Miranda and Max during the first two seasons of The Mallorca Files, was a blast. Elen and Julian created two engaging and loveable characters that found a special place in the hearts of millions of international viewers, so we are beyond thrilled to be working with Amazon MGM Studios and BBC Studios to bring the pair and their crime-solving chemistry back to screen. It’s wonderful that new viewers will be able to catch up on the stories to date, while the new season will see even more thrilling stories and action-packed sequences. And of course, the chemistry between Miranda and Max will continue to leave viewers guessing as to what happens next…”

Shame its Prime and not the BBC, whose worldwide reach for programmes is supreme. Nevertheless the advertising potential for the island is ginormous. Hang on though, aren't we trying to reduce the numbers coming here. I guess the hooligans don't watch The M F so maybe we will get away with it. Ten points for anyone who spots themselves in the background.
