In a synopsis of Harry Wild Season 2, Acorn TV details: “Season Two follows former literature professor, Harry Wild (Seymour), who has found an unusual pastime in retirement: solving crimes along with her young partner in PI work, Fergus Reid. Together the wise-cracking pair investigate cases ranging from missing persons to murders, much to the annoyance of Harry’s son, Charlie (Kevin Ryan, Guilt), who’s a detective in the Dublin Garda. When Fergus’s mother suddenly turns up, years after abandoning her family, they have a deeply personal mystery to solve: What are her intentions? And can he trust her?”
