Upcoming Netflix Agatha Christie series Seven Dials trailer released

The clock is ticking for Lady Eileen “Bundle” Brent (Mia McKenna-Bruce) as she sets out to solve a murder case in this reimagined version of Christie’s timeless mystery. The show arrives on January 15.

What is Seven Dials about and who stars

First off, the name is a shortening of the original working title of The Seven Dials Mystery. The story begins in the 1920s at a glamorous party where the handsome Gerry Wade (Corey Mylchreest) hints at his intentions to propose to Bundle. The next morning, however, she’s shocked to discover her future fiancé still in bed, even as seven alarm clocks cacophonously sound inside his room. It turns out, Gerry isn’t sleeping — he’s dead, and a devastated Bundle is now determined to work out who is responsible for his untimely end.

“I’m not going to rest until I find out what happened to him,” she tells her mother, Lady Caterham (Helena Bonham Carter), in the trailer below.

Following a hunch that the seven clocks and something called “the Seven Dials” are somehow connected to Gerry’s death, Bundle begins to investigate with some assistance and warnings from her friends Ronnie Devereux (Nabhaan Rizwan) and Jimmy Thesiger (Edward Bluemel). Soon, she meets Battle (Martin Freeman), a Scotland Yard superintendent who’s looking into the case, and poses the question: “What do you know about Seven Dials?”
