The third and final season of JACK IRISH had its U.S. premiere on Monday, July 12, 2021, as Acorn TV released the first episode of the new season. Season 3 delves deep into Jack's past, questioning everything he thought he knew about his life and bringing him face-to-face with an antagonist more personal and destructive than he has ever encountered. Joining Pearce once again are Jack's trusty cohorts: journalist Linda Hillier, horse racing identity Harry Strang, trusted off-sider Cam Delray, and old-school detective Barry Tregear.

In the season opener, the execution-style death of an off-duty cop rattles Barry Tregear, who asks Jack to tail ex-cop Mick Khoury, which Jack accomplishes in between parenting tasks. But when Khoury catches Jack and attacks him, the panic and shock give Barry a heart attack. At the hospital, Barry lets slip something about Isabel's death that shakes Jack to the core and prompts him to begin reinvestigating her murder.
