The Blue Rose is a New Zealand crime drama television series, which was created by Rachel Lang and James Griffin and produced by South Pacific Pictures. It stars Antonia Prebble as Jane and Siobhan Marshall as Linda. Marshall and Prebble had previously worked together on Outrageous Fortune.

Contents

The series aired in New Zealand on TV3 from 4 February to 29 April 2013, at 8:30 P.M. for three episodes; it then moved to 9:30 P.M. for three episodes, and then moved again to 9:40 P.M. for five episodes, before moving to 9:45 P.M. on Mondays for the remaining two episodes.

Production

Funding for the series was approved by NZ On Air in December 2011. The show was cancelled in December 2013 by a radio announcement on Radio New Zealand by TV3 programming boss Mark Caulton.

Plot

Jane is a humble office temp who takes on a new post at an inner city law firm and soon realises she's not just filling in for a secretary with the flu - she's sitting in a dead woman's chair.

The deceased woman is Rose, whose best friend Linda is convinced that she was murdered despite police reports to the contrary. Linda quickly enlists Jane in her quest to find the truth and together they recruit the IT guy and the lady from payroll and form the Society of the Blue Rose.

With some help from others on the apparently lowlier rungs in the office - the group fight high-stakes crimes and shadowy corporate skulduggery to uncover the truth about Rose. They are united in purpose - and tattoos - to seek out further injustices. But proving guilt is always harder than suspecting it.
