Matthew Lewis will star in Murder Before Evensong, the Acorn TV and Channel 5 murder mystery drama we told you about last month.
The Harry Potter star will play Canon Daniel Clement in the series, which is based on the first novel in a best-selling book series from Strictly Come Dancing contestant and broadcaster Reverend Richard Coles. Further casting announcements will follow.
Clement shares his rectory with his opinionated and fearless widowed mother and two dachshund dogs. As Daniel announces a controversial plan to install a lavatory in the church, dividing his town, the cousin to Champton’s patron Bernard de Floures is found dead at the back of the church, stabbed in the neck with a pair of secateurs. Bodies begin to pile up as the police move in, and Daniel is forced to keep his fractured community together and catch the killer.

Exclusive: Acorn TV, the AMC Networks-owned streamer, and Paramount’s Channel 5 are co-producing an adaptation of Reverend Richard Coles’ bestselling book Murder Before Evensong.
Acorn has been developing the series for around two years alongside Sky Studios-backed producer The Lighthouse. The streamer will take U.S. rights, while Channel 5 will broadcast the drama in the UK.
Murder Before Evensong was published in 2022 and introduces Canon Daniel Clement, a rector of Champton who becomes embroiled in a murder case when a cousin to the church’s patron is found stabbed in the neck with a pair of secateurs.
Canon Daniel Clement has gone on to feature in three other of Coles’ so-called “cozy crime” novels, including Murder at the Monastery and A Death in the Parish.
Midsomer Murders writer Nick Hicks-Beach was attached to the adaptation. Coles is expected to serve as an executive producer alongside Hicks-Beach and Lighthouse co-founder Radford Neville.
