Good news for fans hoping for another Knives Out movie after Benoit Blanc solved the mystery in Wake Up Dead Man! A new murder mystery is now available on Netflix and quickly becoming one of the platform’s most popular shows. Netflix has been adding a lot of great content lately, with recent hits like His & Hers and Run Away, and this new limited series is proving to be just as popular.
If you enjoyed the movie Knives Out, you’ll likely love Seven Dials, a new mystery series on Netflix inspired by Agatha Christie. This stylish, three-part drama, starring Mia McKenna-Bruce, Edward Bluemel, Iain Glen, Martin Freeman, and Helena Bonham Carter, is set in 1920s England and follows a wealthy woman, Lady Eileen “Bundle” Brent, as she unravels a murder connected to a mysterious group called the “Seven Dials.” Since its release on January 15th, the show has quickly become a hit, currently ranking as the second most popular title on Netflix worldwide.
Netflix’s Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials Is a Divisive Whodunit
If you enjoy a classic, puzzling mystery, you shouldn’t miss Seven Dials. It’s a delightful series in the spirit of Agatha Christie, offering all the charm of a cozy mystery alongside darker themes like secret societies and political conspiracies. The show beautifully recreates the look and feel of 1920s England with stunning costumes and sets—it’s visually similar to films like Knives Out—and boasts excellent acting from its talented cast.
If you enjoyed Knives Out and are looking for another murder mystery, this show is a good option, though it hasn’t received the same level of praise from critics. While Knives Out films are consistently highly rated on Rotten Tomatoes, this adaptation has proven more controversial, with a significant difference between critics’ and viewers’ opinions. Some find the series lacks the cleverness of Agatha Christie’s original stories, feeling it’s a slow, complicated story with an unsatisfying ending. Others describe it as enjoyable, stylish, and visually appealing – a perfect quick binge-watch with a talented cast. It’s a solid adaptation, even if it doesn’t quite reach the heights of Knives Out.
Will There Be an Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials Season 2?
As it stands, Seven Dials appears to be finished. It was promoted as a one-season show, and Netflix originally intended it to be a limited series. However, that doesn’t completely rule out a second season. Many limited series have been unexpectedly renewed, like Netflix’s Adolescence. Plus, the creator of Seven Dials, Chris Chibnall, has said he’d be open to continuing the story if asked. The ending also suggests there’s more to tell, and the character Lady Eileen “Bundle” Brent appears in other Agatha Christie novels – Murder Is Easy, Cards on the Table, and Towards Zero – which could potentially be adapted into new limited series as well.
