It is definitely safe to say that the hit Acorn TV series, Under the Vines, has been one of the most refreshing shows to hit the airwaves in years. For this story, which debuted shortly after the chaos of the pandemic, served as the anthesis to the bad vibes that accompanied that period in time. By offering a story that showcased how we go on, and how we reinvent ourselves after crises or trying times. A move that truly offered hope and that, combined with realistic characters and a whimsical setting that allowed for lighter moments in life to take place… truly sucked us into this world and has left us starving for more, especially after that amazing season two finale.
​
Well, as it turns out, behind the scenes a third season has been commissioned and assembled, and the time has come to release it to the loyal fans of this refreshing and uplifting series. For earlier today, Acorn TV let it be known that the highly anticipated third season of Under the Vines will arrive on the network on August 19th, along with releasing some details about season three, and a trailer to boot. All of which we will share with you now. So that you can start the countdown to year three of a series that is once again reaching us at just the right time, for now more than ever, we need to be reminded of the beauty of life, and how best to embrace it when we’ve been through so much.

‘Acorn TV’s romantic comedy-drama Under The Vines will return with two episodes on Monday, August 19 in the US, Canada, UK (including Northern Ireland) and Australia, with additional episodes dropping weekly on the platform. Starring Rebecca Gibney (Wanted, Packed to the Rafters, Halifax: Retribution) as former Sydney socialite Daisy Monroe and Charles Edwards (Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, The Crown, Downton Abbey) as ex-London lawyer Louis Oakley, the 6-episode third season follows the pair as they continue to run the small vineyard Oakley Wines in Central Otago, New Zealand, while navigating their complicated love lives.
 
Six months on from when we last saw them, Daisy (Gibney) and Louis (Edwards) are trying to oust William (Mark Mitchinson, My Life Is Murder), the mysterious stranger who arrived at the end of Season 2 claiming half of Oakley. But it seems the annoying shanty-singer’s claim might be legitimate, so the Oakley crew must get crafty in their bid to oust him. Especially as he seems to be ingratiating himself into the lives of their rivals Don (John Bach, The Sounds) and Marissa (Sara Peirse, Love Me) at Shimmering Lake.
 
On top of that, Daisy has a ton of other distractions. There’s her wedding with David (Kirk Torrance, Testify) to plan; “heart parent” duties for Nic (Carrie Green, Mystic) and Vic’s (Allan Henry, After the Party) impending birth; Tippy (Trae Te Wiki, Shortland Street) doesn’t want to talk about a new change in her life; and even Louis seems distracted after his rebuffed declaration of love. That’s a lot to process as we count down to Daisy’s big day…
 
Under The Vines is Executive Produced by Rebecca Gibney, Richard Fletcher for Libertine Pictures, Brendan Dahill for Perpetual Entertainment (formerly known as EQ Media Group) and Produced by Paul Yates. Acorn Media Enterprises, Acorn TV’s London-based development division, co-produces. Season 3 is directed by Erin White (Episodes 1-3) and Laurence Wilson (Episodes 4-6) and written by Kelly Lefever, Erin White, Nick Ward, Kathryn Burnett, Harry McNaughton, and Steph Matuku.
