Seven Dials Viewers Turn To This Agatha Christie Mystery On Netflix

Seven Dials Viewers Turn To This Agatha Christie Mystery On Netflix

Published by Sam Flores

After the success of Netflix’s recent Agatha Christie adaptation Seven Dials, another series based on the Queen of Crime’s work is having a resurgence on the platform. More recently, the service has quietly added six seasons of Marple and 13 series of Poirot to their catalogue. According to Metro, Marple began climbing Netflix’s top 10 list earlier this week, with viewers seemingly clambering to watch another classic Agatha Christie adaptation off the back of Seven Dials. Originally airing on ITV in 2004, the drama follows Jane Marple, who uses her sleuthing skills to crack cases in her quaint English village of St Mary Mead. The late Geraldine McEwan brought Marple to life in the first three seasons, before Julia McKenzie took over the role for the latter three. Christie purists be warned, though, that this show takes some liberties with the source material, with the show inserting Marple into other Christie stories that she was not originally included in.

With critics lauding it as “perfect escapism” and audiences firing it to the top of Netflix’s most-watched chart in the UK, chatter has naturally now turned to whether we’ll get another series of Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials. Set in 1925, the series features How To Have Sex actor Mia McKenna-Bruce as Bundle, a young aristocrat who goes about uncovering the truth when a guest is murdered at a lavish country house party. Adapted by Broadchurch creator Chris Chibnall, the Netflix series also stars Helena Bonham Carter, Nabhaan Rizwan and Martin Freeman – but the question now remains as to whether we’ve seen the last of them in their Seven Dials roles? Here’s what we know so far… Will there be a season two of Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials? We don’t have confirmation either way from Netflix. However, seeing as Seven Dials was tied up in a neat three-part series, covering the entirety of the Agatha Christie book it was adapted from, it’s unlikely we’ll get another series that’s a direct sequel. Could Bundle from Seven …

Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials is the new binge-watch whodunnit from Netflix that we’re obsessed with. Based on a story by the Queen Of Crime herself, Agatha Christie, the show follows a young, plucky aristocrat, “Bundle”, who tries to crack the case when a guest is murdered in her house.

“Isn’t she just ‘it’?” a partygoer observes of Lady Eileen Brent (Mia McKenna-Bruce), blessed with the rather adorable nickname of “Bundle” and daughter to Lady Caterham (Helena Bonham Carter), British gentry fallen on hard times in the aftermath of World War I. Bundle is, indeed, “it,” a description lifted directly from the two Agatha Christie novels (The Secret of Chimneys and The Seven Dials Mystery) featuring this plucky, mystery-solving heroine, who gets to be front and center in Netflix‘s new three-part drama, Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials.

Airdate: Thursday, January 15 (Netflix)Cast: Mia McKenna-Bruce, Helena Bonham Carter, Martin Freeman, Edward BluemelCreator: Chris Chibnall In order for Seven Dials to work, McKenna-Bruce must also be “it”; the series hinges not just on viewers marveling at her gumption, shrewdness and other synonyms for “pluck,” but on viewers wanting to watch Bundle’s further adventures, which are surely set up by Chris Chibnall’s (Doctor Who) adaptation. Fortunately, McKenna-Bruce is absolutely “it.” The 28-year-old actress brings ample …
