Amazon Boards The Agatha Christie Express
The streamer has set a multi-year deal with Agatha Christie Limited, which manages the literary and media rights to the author’s works. In a bid to bulk up its international productions, Amazon is going all in on Agatha Christie (pictured). The streaming service is adding a series of adaptations to its originals lineup from Agatha Christie Limited, the company that manages the literary and media rights to the late English crime novelist’s works. The first show to come from the deal is an adaptation of Ordeal By Innocence, which began production earlier this month in the
U.K. The drama will feature an ensemble cast that includes Bill Nighy (Love Actually), Alice Eve (Star Trek Into Darkness), Ella Purnell (Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children), Matthew Goode (The Good Wife), Catherine Keener (Get Out), Ed Westwick (Gossip Girl), Luke Treadaway (Fortitude), Eleanor Tomlinson (Poldark) and Morven Christie (The A Word).
