It's the Logie-nominated ABC drama series that once had fans on the edge of their seats.

But Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, produced by Every Cloud Productions, hit a roadblock on Friday and reached out to fans of the show to help them overcome it.

Starting a Kickstarter campaign, the Melbourne-based production company posted to the crowdfunding website in hope that die-hard fans will contribute to the film's budget.

'We’re finalising the film script of Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears– and we want to bring you along for the adventure..,' the pledge was captioned. 

'But, we need your help to fund a gap in our financing, and prove to our investors that we have a strong fan-base who will come out to watch the film.'

Claiming that the plan for Miss Fisher was to always go bigger, the producers are confident that bringing the original cast back together will be adored by fans.

'She’s a natural action hero – the female version of James Bond or Indiana Jones,' the post said.

'After season three premiered in Australia two years ago, the desire for Miss Fisher didn't die down, and as our cast and crew went off to do different parts of the world, all the while we continued to develop the idea of turning Miss Fisher into a movie.'

The company is planning to give back to its fans as well, with rewards including individual messages from cast members, tickets to premiere screenings, wardrobe gifts and set visits.
