On Monday, the all-new season of Harry Wild premiered, not only on Acorn TV, but also with a co-premiere on BBC America. The series, which is in its third season, follows recently retired English professor, Harry Wild (Jane Seymour), who has a knack for solving crimes, often to the chagrin of her son (Kevin Ryan), a detective of the Dublin police. Now she and her unlikely sidekick, the young Fergus (Rohan Nedd), run a detective agency.

This season, one of the new developments is a potential love interest for Harry in the form of Harry Benedict (Lachlan O’Mearáin), another private detective she meets on one of their cases. “We're not quite sure where that's going, but we do know that there is definitely a sort of a tease that he will become something,” teased Seymour in a recent interview with SciFi Vision, adding that there is a “wonderful kind of very unusual sort of a seduction” at the end of the season. “[Harry] is not used to suddenly having feelings for someone or dealing with someone who has feelings for her,” said the actress.

Of course, the main relationship in the series is still Harry’s friendship with Fergus. “It's a young boy and an older women who are using their knowledge and working together to solve crimes,” she said of the onscreen friendship. “Meanwhile, she's trying to educate him while they're doing it, and he's definitely educating her, like how the other world works. So, it's fun and funny.”

Seymour continued that they get along off set as well. “I'm very supportive of him; he's super supportive of me, and it really kind of it shows on camera.”

The actress greatly enjoys working on the series as Harry and is grateful for it. “I've learned that I really love what I do, and the more I play this character, the more I enjoy her, and I enjoy the people I'm working with,” the actress told the site. “…I'm just so grateful to be the lead in a really, really good series at this time in my life, when most actresses, your career’s pretty much over at 40, and to have had the success of Dr. Quinn, and now to have this, and this is now sold globally…and at a time when everyone's been canceled, and there're lots of strikes and whatever, to be able to be in Ireland and doing this kind of fun material is great.” 

For more from Seymour on season three, as well as if she’d make a good detective herself, what she looks for in roles, and much more, read the full transcript below, and be sure to tune into the new season. 

SCIFI VISION:   The first thing I want to ask you about is if you would tease about her sort of love interest, Harry - there's some flirting.

JANE SEYMOUR:   Harry B., the other Harry. Yeah, we're not quite sure where that's going, but we do know that there is definitely a sort of a tease that he will become something. In the final episode, there's a wonderful kind of very unusual sort of a seduction. But Harry, Harry Wild is not used to suddenly having feelings for someone or dealing with someone who has feelings for her. We don't know whether we trust him anyway, because he's another private detective, and he keeps showing up places that she's supposed to only know about, and she doesn't know what's going on there. So, he's a wonderful character. 

SCIFI VISION:   Yeah, it added a fun twist. What else are you allowed to say about the season? What can fans expect that you can tell? 

JANE SEYMOUR:   Well, we have six episodes this season. The first one is about a boy band, and the leader of the boy band, we think, has committed suicide, throwing himself off the top of a rooftop while he's waving to his adoring fans. We realize from my granddaughter (Rose O’Neill) though, who's a big fan of his - and we're there [when] it happens - that this is actually a murder, not not a suicide. She begs me to take the case. And in taking the case, we find out a lot of things about this boy band, and eventually we figure out who has done this murder and why. It's very bizarre and hilariously funny. Meanwhile, Fergus’s mom, played by Samantha Mumba, has come back, and we don't know whether to trust her or not, but then we soon realize what she's trying to do is take her daughter, the young girl, away, and move into America, which Fergus does not know how to deal with, does not want to happen, doesn't trust his mother, and Harry has to help. The next one, episode [two], this is where we find out about the other Harry. We get to kind of understand why he seems to get there before I do. But there is a great chef, and he’s in his great restaurant, and he's showing off, and he's going to do this suckling pig. When they lift off the cover, they see it's a severed head of his girlfriend. So, that is sort of a huge mystery that she has to solve, and it deals with the culinary world. Then, there's a couple, a mystery writer and his boyfriend, and he's found murdered in a safe room. So, we don't know whether he's playing pranks or whether - we know is dead. We don't know how this happened and how could he kill himself if there was no murder weapon in that room? How did he anyone get in or out? Or did they? Then there's one all about the “Vibrant Villages” competition, where all these little villages are fighting against one another to be the prettiest village in Dublin. The woman who runs this thing finds the body of her estranged husband dead floating in the fish pond. Harry's friends with this woman, so she has to take it upon herself to figure out what happened and why he is there and what's going on. So, that's pretty humorous, too, but also always treacherous. There’s always a dead body involved. Then, the last one takes place in the Garda station, and we're on our way to Welsh Glenn (Paul Tylak), who's our very comedic member, the alcoholic that now is running the pub that Harry goes to, and he's getting married to Petra, who is this crazy woman. Meanwhile, there's a man who's very despondent, and he takes us all hostage in the Garda Station. And I have the ring for Glenn's wedding, so I can't go there, because I'm locked out by this guy who's a killer, who's threatening to kill us unless we can figure out what happened to his daughter. So, there you go. Those are the episodes. 

SCIFI VISION:   Lots of different twists this season. So can you talk a bit about working with Rohan? 

JANE SEYMOUR:   Oh, Rohan’s brilliant. I mean absolutely brilliant. He's older than he plays. He's English, completely English. He put on that brilliant Irish accent just for this character and absolutely completely fools everyone in Ireland, and he never breaks character. He's an amazing, amazing talent. I was just so lucky when we found him. They sent me three different people's reels. I looked at him, and I said, “Go no further; we have found our Fergus.” And the best part about it is our relationship in real life. We really get along so well. I mean, I'm very supportive of him; he's super supportive of me, and it really kind of it shows on camera. It's like, sometimes you can tell if two people love each other. In this case, it's a love but without, you know, it's not a sexual thing at all. It's a young boy and an older women who are using their knowledge and working together to solve crimes. Meanwhile, she's trying to educate him while they're doing it, and he's definitely educating her, like how the other world works. So, it's fun and funny. 

SCIFI VISION:   That was the next thing I was going to ask. How do you think he's changed her since she's met him, overall? 

JANE SEYMOUR:   Well, I think quite a bit. But I think he's also surprised that he'll introduce her to, you know, a king pin of drugs and crime, and she'll just go right up in this man's face and tell him how it's at and how it's going to be. [laughs] And she uses her her knowledge and her charms. But, you know, he does manage to find these really funny characters. I think one of my favorite ones is Sneaky Pete, who is the guy who knows how to pick a lock, open this, open that, and it's just so much fun with those characters. It makes for great humor. 

SCIFI VISION:   Do you think that in real life you'd make a good detective? Are you good at puzzles and figuring out stuff like that? 

JANE SEYMOUR:   I don't know about that, but I would be very good at what she does, I think, at interviewing people and pretending that I'm somebody else and getting the information out of them. I would probably be good at that. I definitely more than likely would know if they were lying, or catch them in a lie in the most nonchalant way. 

SCIFI VISION:   How has working on the show changed you? Or is there something you've learned either about yourself, or just something that's changed? 

JANE SEYMOUR:   I've learned that I really love what I do, and the more I play this character, the more I enjoy her, and I enjoy the people I'm working with. I enjoy being in Ireland. I'm just so grateful to be the lead in a really, really good series at this time in my life, when most actresses, your career’s pretty much over at 40, and to have had the success of Dr. Quinn, and now to have this, and this is now sold globally, and the Dr. Quinn fans love it. So, I'm getting new fans and the old ones who reluctantly have just said, “Okay, well, we'll give it a try,” and they've all gone wild for it, literally wild. And I just love working with Dave Logan and Josephine [Spain]. I think they're just brilliant writers. I think they write such amazing material. It's exciting to work with people who are really good at what they do, and who are nice people and who bring their A game, honestly. And at a time when everyone's been canceled, and there're lots of strikes and whatever, to be able to be in Ireland and doing this kind of fun material is great. 

SCIFI VISION:   It's good to enjoy what you do. Do you have anything besides this coming up? And also, do you know if you're getting a fourth season? It's probably pretty early to, to ask that.

JANE SEYMOUR:   Well, first of all, I'm not allowed to answer that question. I can tell you that I am booked up for the rest of the year. 

SCIFI VISION:   Okay, that's fair. Let me ask you this. What do you look for in a role, just in general, when you're taking an audition? 

JANE SEYMOUR:   I’m always looking for really good material. So, I have a film that just came out, it's on video on demand called Ruby's Choice. Highly recommended. I play [someone] completely different from Harry Wild. I play a woman with dementia and Alzheimer's, who ends up the whole family is trying to figure out what to do and how to help her, and through a series of events, she ends up solving everybody's issues and helping them make the right choices in their lives. The whole thing is about what are we're going to do about Ruby, and ultimately it's her choice, hence the title. But it was written by a man who worked in dementia and Alzheimer's for 30 years, so a lot of people in that world have said it's the best movie they've ever seen like that. And a lot of people have said it’s the best performance I've ever done. So, that's out. I did a short called And You Are?, people are also very excited about that. It's only 18 minutes long. I hope you will get to see it. I play, again, a woman with Alzheimer's, but this time it’s a relationship piece between her and her grandchild. I don't want to give away what the secret is, but it's very moving and really just very, very, very well done. And what do I look for? I just look for good material. I mean, I've got some really good movies lined up that as soon as they get their final money, I'm working. I've never, never had quite so much work.
