A Nostalgic Reunion: Jane Seymour and Joe Lando
The new season marks a significant on-screen reunion between Jane Seymour and Joe Lando, who starred together in the beloved 1990s series Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. Lando joins the cast as Pierce Kennedy, the new State Pathologist.
The season 5 trailer highlights the chemistry between the former co-stars. In the trailer, Harry is less than enthusiastic about working with a pathologist, stating, “I’m picturing a fat little man who smells of formaldehyde.” Her expectations are quickly challenged when she meets the charming Pierce Kennedy. According to Acorn TV, Pierce is “a charming and brilliant new State Pathologist whose arrival quickly makes waves in Harry’s world.”
The reunion extends beyond the screen. When Lando and his family lost their home in the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires, Seymour opened her home to them. She told TVLine, “My mother instilled in me from an early age that in times of great strife and struggle, reach out and help someone.”
What to Expect in Season 5
The new season promises to be the show’s most thrilling chapter yet. According to the official description, Harry and her team are “pulled into their most dangerous and complex cases to date.” With the help of Pierce Kennedy, they take on undercover operations, chilling murders, and relentless criminals.
Season 5 Episode Themes:
- Murder mysteries in the world of whiskey-making
