BritBox is all-in on Agatha Christie adaptations. The platform already has several available for your viewing pleasure, including Agatha Christie’s Towards Zero, Agatha Christie’s Murder is Easy, Why Didn’t They Ask Evans?, Poirot, Marple, and The Pale Horse.
Today, BritBox announced it’s adding another Christie series to their roster: a six-part contemporary adaptation of the novels and short stories centered on the romantically on-again, off-again detective duo, Tommy and Tuppence. Its produced by Lookout Point (Happy Valley, Gentleman Jack), in association with Agatha Christie Limited.
The show, descriptively called Tommy & Tuppence, is written by Phoebe Eclair-Powell (The Road Trip, Harm). “As an Agatha Christie superfan, this job is a dream come true,” she said in a statement. “I am eternally grateful to [Christie’s grandson] James Prichard and Agatha Christie Limited for having me on board…. Christie’s detective duo are witty, sharp and raring to solve lots and lots of murders whilst asking if they should really be more than just Partners in Crime…. To bring Tommy and Tuppence into the twenty-first century is truly an honor.”
So what tone will the show go for? BritBox North America president Robert Schildhouse described it as “a fun blend of romance and mystery,” while Lookout Point executive director Katie Draper said it’s a “screwball comedy, playful romance, and thrilling murder.”
The announcement suggests that the project is still in its early days, so no news yet on who will be playing the titular characters or when we’ll be able to watch it in the U.S.[end-mark]
