Towards Zero

by

Starting this coming Sunday, March 2nd at 9 PM, the BBC has scheduled its new Agatha Christie adaptation, Towards Zero, to air weekly. Additionally, viewers can stream the entire three-part series on BBC iPlayer as early as 6 AM on the same day.

The news emerged simultaneously with a fresh 30-second teaser for the show, introducing several characters who might be implicated in a murder investigation.

At the start of the preview, a voiceover notes that every act of murder traces back to a particular point where it all began, planting its seeds. This is followed by a sneak peek into some of the scandalous incidents that will be explored throughout the series.

You can watch it in full below:

A highly acclaimed mystery mini-series, featuring well-known actors, draws inspiration from Agatha Christie’s novel of the same title published in 1944. The plot revolves around an ex-couple who choose to spend their summer at a seaside mansion following their controversial divorce; however, their peaceful retreat is disrupted when a murder occurs, escalating the already high tension even more.

As a movie enthusiast, I’d be thrilled to share that in an upcoming film, I will be portraying Neville Strange, a character who has gone through a divorce with Audrey. The talented Oliver Jackson-Cohen from “The Haunting of Hill House” will bring Neville to life, and Ella Lily Hyland, star of “Black Doves”, will breathe life into the character of Audrey. Lastly, Mimi Keene, known for her role in “Sex Education”, will portray Kay, who is Neville’s new spouse.

Additionally, Anjelica Huston plays a significant part as Neville’s aunt and the proprietor of the main estate, while Matthew Rhys takes on the role of a distressed inspector tasked with solving the murder case.

This story introduces a loyal but patient servant, a secretive gentleman’s servant, a banished relative nursing resentment, an esteemed family attorney, a curious orphan, and a cunning French imposter. As their paths cross, a murder is imminent.

In a challenging situation, a detective grappling with personal issues embarks on a mission to disentangle a complex network of envy, falsehoods, and malfunction. Will he crack the case and prevent another tragic demise before it’s too late?

In October, the BBC unveiled several initial images of the upcoming series, featuring snapshots of all principal characters.

In addition, the ensemble features Clarke Peters (Eric), Anjana Vasan, Jack Farthing, Jackie Clune (from Motherland), Grace Doherty (Call the Midwife), Khalil Gharbia (Mary & George) and Adam Hugill (Sherwood).
