According to Netflix on the 16th (Korean time), the original series 'Agatha Christie's Seven Dials' was released simultaneously worldwide on the 15th. The work, which has attracted attention with the script and production by star writer Chris Chibnall, who led the dramas 'Broadchurch' and 'Doctor Who', is making waves.

◆ The party is over, now it's time to catch the culprit

The drama is set in September 1925, against the backdrop of a glamorous country house party in England. The protagonist, young noblewoman Lady Eileen 'Bundle' Brent (played by Mia McKenna-Bruce), transforms into an amateur detective determined to uncover the truth following the sudden death of her boyfriend. She showcases her bubbly charm while confronting the conspiracy of the secret organization 'Seven Dials'.

The role of 'Bundle' is played by Mia McKenna-Bruce (28), a rising star who received critical acclaim for the film 'How to Have Sex', marking her first major series lead role with this work.

◆ Helena Bonham Carter X Martin Freeman 'Luxury Supporting Roles'

The cast lineup is truly the 'British Actor Avengers'. Helena Bonham Carter plays Bundle's mother and the wounded woman 'Lady Caterham', while Martin Freeman takes on the role of veteran detective 'Inspector Battle' from Scotland Yard, anchoring the drama. Additionally, Ian Glen from 'Game of Thrones' joins the cast, promising a rich ensemble of performances.

◆ "Christie for a New Generation"

Screenwriter Chris Chibnall stated, "I hope this work serves as a gateway for a new generation (Generation Z) into the world of Agatha Christie." It has been praised for maintaining the original's lively and thrilling charm while adding a modern pace.

The beautiful mise-en-scène shot in Bristol and Bath, England, and Spain in the summer of 2024, along with the fashion of the 1920s, is also a must-see. The first major mystery masterpiece presented by Netflix in 2026 is drawing the attention of genre fans worldwide.
