The BBC and BritBox announced today Agatha Christie’s Endless Night, a new limited series adapted from the Queen of Mystery’s eponymous novel.
Viewers who love watching filmed adaptations of works by Agatha Christie, the best-selling author of all time, have a new one to look forward to: Endless Night, a three-part drama based on the novel of the same name (#ad), one of Agatha Christie’s personal favorites.
In the limited series, it’s 1967, and man-of-many-trades Michael Rogers finds himself working as the chauffeur for the enigmatic designer du jour, Rudolf Santonix, snatching a glimpse into a glamorous world of outrageous wealth that’s far from his own upbringing. Transfixed by Santonix’s latest project, a beautiful house in the English countryside, Mike dreams of meeting the love of his life and taking up residence. But unbeknownst to Mike, the house that he has set his heart on has a dark past that goes back for centuries. Local legend says that it is haunted by a curse that no one escapes.
When Mike meets the sweet-natured Ellie and, by a curious set of circumstances, finds himself moving into the house, the young couple starts to realize they should have listened to the warnings. As increasingly strange and chilling events occur, they start to wonder if the curse is real and means to destroy them — or if someone is intent on terrifying them to death.
The talented Sarah Phelps (The Sixth Commandment, A Very British Scandal) will adapt Endless Night for the screen, her sixth such project for a filmed Agatha Christie adaptation produced by Mammoth Screen and Agatha Christie Limited for the BBC. The others include And Then There Were None, The Witness For The Prosecution, Ordeal by Innocence, The ABC Murders, and The Pale Horse.
The executive producers are James Prichard for Agatha Christie Limited, Rebecca Durbin and Damien Timmer for Mammoth Screen, Sarah Phelps, Danielle Scott-Haughton for the BBC, and Robert Schildhouse, Jon Farrar, and Stephen Nye for BritBox.
Filming on Endless Night will take place later this year, with casting to be announced in due course. The series will air on BBC iPlayer and BBC One in the UK, and on BritBox in the US and Canada. Fifth Season will handle global distribution.
Stay tuned for updates.
