If there is one word to describe Jane Seymour, it would have to be, legend. For Jane has been involved in countless iconic franchises, and is genuinely beloved by fans everywhere and of course, she continues to grace our screens with her incredible presence. In fact, she currently stars as Harry Wild in the smash Acorn TV hit series, Harry Wild, and recently at SeriesFest, we had the distinct honor of sitting down with Jane to discuss the show’s upcoming third season. 
 
John Betancourt: What does it mean to you to have fans embrace this show the way that they have?
 
Jane Seymour: Oh, very exciting, especially since you know, the takeaway is that people are now curious about reading. People that never read. And the other thing that I really love is that people in the literature world and professors of literature are all coming up to me saying how much they love it. So, you know, I mean, it's obviously it's a spoofy kind of, comedy, but people love it. And it's intelligent and amusing and it’s a really good thriller. I never know who did it. I can never figure it out. That’s the genius of Jo Spain. She is a hidden element, because in Ireland and in England, she's a number one, you know, crime novel writer. 
 
John Betancourt: Last question that I have for you today. Without spoiling anything, what are you most excited for everyone to experience here in season three? 
 
Jane Seymour: Oh, well, we have definitely got some new elements, coming up. You know, there's possibly a mysterious other person around that Harry's not sure about and Samantha Mumba comes in as Fergus’ mom who's come back and is causing havoc. We don't know whether to trust her or not, what her motives are, and what she's up to. And then I think the crimes are even more bizarre. (Laughter) But then, Fergus and I, we really… we've really got a good detective agency going now. And my son continues, to be completely useless. But, you know, what can I tell you, he's a guard. (Laughter)
