Since the series ended in 1996, a series of four TV movies were released between 1997 and 2003, a game created by Legacy Interactive was released for the PC platform in 2009, and a spin-off book series, written by Donald Bain, continues to the present.

The show revolved around the day-to-day life of a retired English teacher who, after being widowed in her early fifties, becomes a very successful mystery writer. Despite fame and fortune, Jessica remains a resident of Cabot Cove, a cozy coastal town in Maine, and maintains her links with all of her old friends, never letting her success go to her head. Exterior shots of Cabot Cove were filmed in Mendocino, California.

Murder rears its ugly head with great regularity in her vicinity (so improbably often that the mystery term "Cabot Cove syndrome" was eventually coined to describe the constant appearance of dead bodies in remote locations). Jessica invariably proves more perceptive than the official investigators, who are almost always willing to arrest the most likely suspect. By carefully piecing the clues together and asking astute questions, she always manages to trap the real murderer, who, given the series' "special guest star" policy, was often played by a famous film or TV personality.

Jessica's relationship with law enforcement officials varies from place to place. Both sheriffs of Cabot Cove resign themselves to having her meddle in their cases. However, most detectives and police officers do not want her anywhere near their crime scenes, until her accurate deductions convince them to listen to her. Some are happy to have her assistance from the start, often because they are fans of her books. With time, she makes friends in many police departments across the U.S., as well as with a British police officer attached to Scotland Yard.

In 1991, newly appointed executive producer David Moessinger and producer J. Michael Straczynski were brought aboard in an effort to shore up ratings. They moved Jessica to New York, and revitalized the show, bringing it back into the top ten in the yearly ratings. It was Straczynski who made her an instructor in writing and criminology, and is widely held to have most emphasized her role as a working writer, with all the deadlines and problems involved in that profession.

Following the 1991–92 season, Angela Lansbury became the series' executive producer after she and her husband's production company, Corymore Productions, purchased a majority interest in Murder, She Wrote from Universal Television, which remained as a producer and distributor. As the series entered the middle of the decade, it remained a Sunday night staple and eventually became the longest-running mystery series in television history.[citation needed] While the ratings for Murder, She Wrote had slipped slightly following its resurgence in 1991, it still maintained a loyal viewing audience. In fact, the first season that Lansbury served as executive producer saw another rise in the ratings, as Murder, She Wrote ended the season in the top five for the first time since 1988.

.: Italian :.
La signora in giallo (Murder, She Wrote) è una serie televisiva statunitense di genere investigativo, interpretata da Angela Lansbury nel ruolo della protagonista Jessica Fletcher. La serie andò in onda settimanalmente sulla CBS dal 1984 al 1996, e continuò con diversi film per la televisione fino al 2003.

In Italia la serie è andata in onda in prima visione sulle reti RAI.
La serie fu nominata più volte nella categoria Miglior serie drammatica, totalizzando due premi ai Golden Globe su sei candidature, ma nessuna vittoria agli Emmy Award, nonostante due candidature.
Angela Lansbury fu nominata per un totale di dieci Golden Globe e dodici Emmy Award per la sua interpretazione ne La signora in giallo, detenendo tutt'oggi il record per il maggior numero di nomination nelle categorie Miglior attrice (Golden Globe) e Migliore serie drammatica (Emmy Award).

Dopo la conclusione della serie, nel 1996, vennero girati quattro film TV, messi in onda fra il 1997 e il 2003. La serie rivive oggi nella serie di romanzi scritti da Donald Bain e nel gioco per PC rilasciato nel 2009 dalla Legacy Interactive.
Le scene ambientate a Cabot Cove non sono state girate nel Maine, bensì nella cittadina di Mendocino, in California, dove è ancora presente l'imponente casa vittoriana di Jessica.

La serie si svolge raccontando la vita quotidiana di un'insegnante d'inglese in pensione, Jessica Fletcher, che, dopo essere rimasta vedova intorno ai cinquant'anni del marito Frank, diventa quasi per caso una scrittrice di successo. Nonostante la fama e la fortuna ottentute, Jessica continua a vivere una vita semplice e salutare, risiedendo nel piccolo paese di Cabot Cove, sulla costa del Maine, e coltivando le sue vecchie amicizie, che la portano spesso in giro per il mondo.

La trama della serie è caratterizzata dal continuo verificarsi di assassinii ed omicidi che risvegliano l'insaziabile curiosità della protagonista, portando Jessica a risolvere i casi dalla più varia natura. Nella maggior parte degli episodi Jessica collabora con detective e sceriffi, i quali, molto spesso, intendono arrestare l'individuo più facilmente sospettabile. La polizia viene puntualmente smentita dalla Fletcher, che, intuendo l'innocenza dell'arrestato, riesce ad individuare mediante indagini, prove e astute domande l'identità del colpevole.

Il rapporto di Jessica con le forze dell'ordine varia, però, in relazione al luogo in cui avviene l'omicidio. Entrambi gli sceriffi di Cabot Cove, Amos Tupper e Mort Metzger, sono rassegnati ad avere la consulenza di Jessica durante le indagini. In altri casi detective e commissari di polizia rifiutano l'aiuto di Jessica e la sua presenza sulla scena del crimine, ma solo fino al momento in cui le deduzioni della scrittrice non li convincono a desistere. Altri ancora reagiscono in modo positivo fin dall'inizio delle indagini, spesso in quanto appassionati dei romanzi della Fletcher. Durante le varie stagioni, Jessica stringe importanti amicizie con i commissari di polizia di molte città americane, tra cui New York, e con molti uffici di polizia di Scotland Yard.
