What Is The Woman In Cabin 10 About?

The Woman in Cabin 10 revolves around a travel reporter tasked with chronicling the inaugural journey of a lavish yacht. One fateful night, she observes a passenger being violently thrown into the sea, yet her account is met with skepticism as all passengers are accounted for. Adamant about the truth, the persistent journalist delves deeper into the mystery, placing herself in increasingly perilous situations.

The Woman In Cabin 10 Cast

Keira Knightley is set to portray a travel journalist who may encounter a crime during a yacht launch event, and it has been announced that she will work alongside Guy Pearce, Hannah Waddingham, as well as other actors, when The Woman in Cabin 10 premieres on Netflix.

Keira Knightley

Previously, it was noted that Keira Knightley will portray a journalist named Lauren “Lo” Blacklock in the story, who seems to have witnessed a horrific crime while on an assignment. However, as of now, there’s no available character details for the film adaptation based on Ruth Ware’s book.

Keira Knightly is widely recognized for her film roles, such as those in “Atonement,” “Love Actually,” the “Pirates of the Caribbean” series, and 2005’s “Pride & Prejudice,” which earned her an Academy Award nomination. Additionally, she was nominated for an Oscar for her performance in “The Imitation Game” in 2014. In December 2024, Knightley appeared in the Netflix original series “Black Doves,” a highly-acclaimed production that garnered her a Golden Globe nomination.

Guy Pearce

As a cinephile, I’m thrilled to share that I’ve been tapped for “The Woman in Cabin 10,” though the specifics of my role are still under wraps. Notably, my performance in “The Brutalist” earned me a nod for the 2025 Golden Globe Awards. My repertoire spans across films like “Memento,” “The Time Machine,” “The Hurt Locker,” and “Alien: Covenant,” among others, so I can’t wait to see what this new project holds!

Hannah Waddingham

Actress Hannah Waddingham, known for her role as Ted Lasso, will appear in an undisclosed part in an upcoming Netflix film. Apart from portraying Rebecca Welton on the hit Apple TV+ series (which earned her an Emmy in 2021), she has also graced screens in shows like Game of Thrones and The Fall Guy, as well as various productions on London’s West End stage.

Simon Stone Is Set To Direct

As a movie enthusiast, I’m looking forward to Simon Stone directing the screen adaptation of the book. Given his theater background, it’s no surprise that many of his cast members have stage experience. Stone first made his mark in films with his directorial debut in 2015, premiering the drama “The Daughter” starring Paul Schneider and Geoffrey Rush at Toronto International Film Festival. In 2021, he took charge of another dramatic piece, “The Dig“, this one based on a historical novel.

As a fervent admirer, I’d like to share that the captivating script for “The Woman in Cabin 10” is a collaborative effort by Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse, as confirmed by Variety. It’s intriguing to note that Simon Stone is also said to have contributed his creative touch to it.

The Woman in Cabin 10 Is An Adaptation Of Ruth Ware’s Ninth Novel

In 2016, the novel “The Woman in Cabin 10” by Ruth Ware first appeared on the New York Times Bestseller list at the fourth spot and remained a hit throughout the year. This book was also nominated for the Goodreads Readers’ Favorite Mystery & Thriller award that same year. Notably, “The Woman in Cabin 10” is Ruth Ware’s ninth crime thriller; she previously penned YA fantasy novels under her original name, Ruth Warburton. Furthermore, it marks the fourth of her works to be considered for a screen adaptation.

Apart from the forthcoming Netflix film, the rights for Ruth Ware’s 2015 novel “In a Dark, Dark Wood” were bought by New Line Cinema in 2017, as reported by EW. Reese Witherspoon’s Pacific Standard is set to produce it. Fans of Ware might also witness the adaptation of “The Lying Game” (2017) on television, since Deadline stated that Entertainment One purchased the TV rights in the same year. Lastly, there are reports that Universal International Studios have acquired the rights for “Zero Days,” due out in 2023, to develop a series for TV or streaming platforms.

A Sequel To The Book Is Coming In Summer 2025

Ruth Ware keeps a busy writing schedule, with no signs of slowing down. Her upcoming novel, titled “The Woman in Suite 11“, serves as a sequel to “The Woman in Cabin 10“. This new book is scheduled for release on July 8, 2025. According to People magazine, the story revolves around Lo, a travel journalist, who receives an invitation to interview billionaire Marcus Leidmann at the opening of a luxury hotel in Switzerland. Upon arrival, she encounters a woman claiming to be Leidmann’s mistress, who expresses fear for her life. The question is whether Lo can uncover the truth and protect both herself and the woman.

The Movie Was Filmed On A Luxury Super-Yacht Called The Savannah

As a movie reviewer, I must say that the filming location of “The Woman in Cabin 10” was nothing short of extraordinary. The Dorset Echo reveals that this thrilling mystery was shot aboard The Savannah, an 83-meter mega-yacht launched in 2015. This magnificent vessel can accommodate up to 12 guests and 24 crew members, ensuring a luxurious experience for all on board.

The amenities on The Savannah are nothing short of lavish, boasting multiple swimming pools, a spa, a gym, and an underwater lounge named the “Nemo Room.” This unique space doubles as both a relaxing aquatic retreat and a state-of-the-art theater, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the film’s suspenseful atmosphere. Truly, the filmmakers’ choice to shoot on this award-winning yacht greatly enhances the overall production value and immersive experience for viewers.

After learning about the super-yacht the cast and crew of “The Woman in Cabin 10” used for filming in 2024, I can’t help but feel a strong desire to embark on that very voyage – as long as we can ensure no one ends up taking an unexpected dip. Keep an eye out for news regarding the movie’s release date while you explore other exciting options Netflix has to offer.
