Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials: The New Netflix Sensation
Agatha Christie’s A 1920s Whodunit Reimagined for a New Generation
Get ready for a stylish, fast-paced dive into 1925 England. Netflix has officially released Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials, an adaptation of the 1929 novel The Seven Dials Mystery. Penned by Broadchurch creator Chris Chibnall, this series blends classic suspense with a modern, edgy tone.
The Mystery: Agatha Christie’s 8 Clocks, 1 Body
The story begins at a lavish country house party at Chimneys. A group of playful young aristocrats decides to prank a champion over-sleeper by lining up eight alarm clocks to go off at 6:30 AM. But when morning arrives, one clock is missing—and a guest is dead. It’s up to the “fizzingly inquisitive” Lady Eileen ‘Bundle’ Brent to uncover the truth behind the shadowy “Seven Dials” organization.
