Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue comes to BBC One later this week — here’s everything you need to know

Nine people survive a plane crash in the Mexican jungle, but they don’t know that a murderer lurks in their midst. Everyone has a story to tell. Everyone has a secret to hide.

What is Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue about?

A light aircraft carrying 10 people crashes in the Mexican jungle – and nine of them survive. But when, one after another, they begin to die in strange and violent ways they begin to realise that, for some inexplicable reason, somebody wants them dead.

As the story unfolds in flashback, we meet the survivors as they fight against the heat, a shortage of supplies, the many dangers of the jungle – and each other. The setting becomes increasingly tense and claustrophobic until finally the identity of the killer and the truth are revealed.

The series, written by Anthony Horowitz, stars Eric McCormack, David Ajala, Lydia Wilson, Jan Le, Adam Long, Siobhán McSweeney, Peter Gadiot, and Ólafur Dario Ólafsson.
