The Spencer Sisters is a Canadian drama television series that premiered January 29, 2023 on CTV.[1] The series stars Lea Thompson and Stacey Farber as Victoria and Darby Spencer, respectively; a mother and daughter duo who are thrust into investigating crimes in their home town of Alder Bluffs.[2]
When her daughter Darby unexpectedly returns home (having resigned from her career as a police officer in protest for being overlooked), famed mystery novelist Victoria Spencer decides to finally pursue her dream of being a private detective. The two women form the Spencer Sisters Detective Agency (capitalizing on the fact that Victoria is often mistaken for Darby's sister as opposed to her mother) and start tackling a variety of cases in the fictional town of Alder Bluffs.
Guest appearances by Samuel Wexler, Paul Popowich, Andrew Bushell, Cindy Sampson, Seán Cullen, Matt Wells, Alex Ozerov, Jennifer Hui, Nancy Sorel, Mercedes Morris, Julius Cho, Mika Amonsen, Daniel Kash, Paul Essiembre, Tova Epp, Zarrin Darnell-Martin, Hazel and Joel Baez Silvestre.[1]
