Netflix has officially announced a new adaptation of Agatha Christie's classic novel 'The Seven Dials Mystery,' sparking excitement among fans of the Queen of Crime.
The streaming platform released a short cryptic video featuring a typewriter and the phrase 'Killer Queen,' teasing viewers ahead of the official title reveal.
Executive producer Suzanne Mackie confirmed that this project would faithfully bring the 1929 novel to the screen, introducing a new generation to Lady Eileen 'Bundle' Brent and her eccentric circle of suspects.
The story is set in 1920s England, beginning with a lavish country house weekend where a seemingly harmless prank goes horribly wrong, leading to murder.
Lady Brent, an unlikely but determined amateur sleuth, is drawn into a complex web of conspiracy that threatens to upend her life.
The series is being produced by Orchid Pictures with Chris Chibnall and Chris Sussman contributing to its creative vision, while Chris Sweeney directs.
The adaptation promises a stylish period aesthetic, star-studded cast, and a faithful yet modern reimagining of Christie’s intricate plotting.
Filming took place in Bristol throughout 2024, and the show is currently in post-production with a release expected later this year.
Early fan reactions have been positive, with many praising Netflix for reviving interest in Christie’s lesser-known works and bringing them to a global audience.
Given the success of previous Christie adaptations, industry experts predict this series will attract strong viewership and potentially open the door for more adaptations from the Christie estate in the future.
