By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on May 30, 2024 Credit: Eleventh Hour Films/Masterpiece Comment 0 Share New Share Credit: Eleventh Hour Films/Masterpiece Were you a fan of Masterpiece’s Magpie Murders series? If so, I’ve got great news for you: Susan Ryeland (Lesley Manville) and the fictional Atticus Pünd (Tim McMullan) are back facing another mystery in Moonflower Murders, and we’ve got a trailer to prove it. Moonflower Murders takes place after the events of Magpie and is based on the 2022 book of the same name by Anthony Horowitz. “I can’t wait to get started on the scripts of Moonflower Murders,” the author said in a statement put out in January 2023 when the sequel was first announced. “We had a fantastic response to Magpie and, speaking personally, it was a joy bringing Susan Ryeland and Atticus Pünd to life on the screen. There are lots of surprises in the second book, including something I’ve never done before in a murder mystery. It’s going to be great fun.” Here’s the synopsis for Moonflower Murders: Susan has left the cut-throat world of publishing and is living in Crete with her longtime boyfriend, Andreas. She ends up returning to London when she is asked to investigate a mystery relating to Alan Conway, the author of the best- selling Atticus Pünd mysteries, whose death changed her life in Magpie Murders. The trailer gives us one more tidbit about the plot: Susan is essentially offered £10,000 to read a book. If I could only be so lucky! In addition to Manville and McMullan, the cast includes Conleth Hill, Mark Gatiss, Pippa Bennett-Warner, and Daniel Mays. The series premieres Sunday, September 15, 2024 at 9:00 p.m. ET / 8:00 p.m. CT on PBS. Check out the trailer below.
