Chris Chibnall’s adaptation of Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials is coming in January — cue lots of information from Netflix

It’s been a long time since we covered the Netflix adaptation of Seven Dials, now we’re spoiled with a slew of news. For a start, it’s no longer called The Seven Dials Mystery. The good news is the series arrives January 15.

What is Seven Dials about

First, Mia McKenna-Bruce (How to Have Sex, Persuasion) leads the cast of the clever mystery as Lady Eileen

From the press release (which also has a few cast images):

England. 1925. At a lavish country house party, a practical joke appears to have gone horribly, murderously wrong. It will be up to the unlikeliest of sleuths — the fizzingly inquisitive Lady Eileen “Bundle” Brent (Bruce) — to unravel a chilling plot that will change her life, cracking wide open the country house mystery.

Who is in the series

Apart from Bruce, we also have Helena Bonham Carter (One Life, Nolly) as Lady Caterham, Martin Freeman (The Responder, Black Panther) as Battle, Corey Mylchreest (Queen Charlotte) as Gerry Wade, Ed Bluemel (Sex Education, Killing Eve) as Jimmy Thesiger and Nabhaan Rizwan (KAOS) as Ronnie Devereux.

In addition to writing the series’ scripts, Chibnall will executive produce the series through his company Imaginary Friends. The series is also executive produced by Suzanne Mackie (The Crown), Chris Sussman (Good Omens), and Chris Sweeney (The Tourist, Back to Life), who directed all three parts as well.

Christie’s great-grandson, James Prichard, executive produces through Agatha Christie Limited, which has managed the literary and media rights to Christie’s works since 1955. Andy Stebbing is also on board as an executive producer and Joanna Crow as series producer.

Here’s the teaser, expect a full trailer nearer January 15.
