The official synopsis of Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials, as stated by Tudum by Netflix, states,

England. 1925. At a lavish country house party, a practical joke appears to have gone horribly, murderously wrong. It will be up to the unlikeliest of sleuths — the fizzingly inquisitive Lady Eileen “Bundle” Brent (Bruce) — to unravel a chilling plot that will change her life, cracking wide open the country house mystery. A witty, epic, and fast-paced drama from the Queen of Crime, Agatha Christie, is brought to life in a thrilling new version for Netflix.

James Prichard is the great-grandson of Agatha Christie, who is executive producing the series through Agatha Christie Limited. Speaking about the series, Prichard said to Tudum by Netflix,

“Bundle Brent is one of my great-grandmother’s raft of interesting, humorous, and sharp young female characters,”

He continued,

“To see her brought to life through the words of Chris Chibnall and this production with Orchid Pictures and Netflix is a dream come true. I think viewers will love this world that we have created, and hope for more.”

Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials is written by Chris Chibnall, who is also an executive producer on the show along with Chris Sussman, Chris Sweeney, Suzanne Mackie, and Andy Stebbing. Chris Sweeney has directed the series, and Joanna Crow is the series producer. The production companies behind the show are Chibnall's Imaginary Friends, Mackie's Orchid Pictures, and Agatha Christie Limited.

Speaking about the show, Mackie said to Tudum by Netflix,

“I am excited to be bringing Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials to life and to be introducing a new generation of iconic Christie characters to the screen,”

She continued,

“It has been a joy to work with Chris Chibnall in creating this bold, authored, and ambitious vision for the series. Together with Chris Sussman and Agatha Christie Limited and under the masterful direction of Chris Sweeney, we are thrilled to embark on this creative journey. I could not think of a more exciting first project for Orchid Pictures or a more perfect home for this story than Netflix.”

Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials will be released on Netflix on January 15, 2026.
