Or more concisely:
A new TV series, based on “Towards Zero” and “Murder Is Easy”, is being produced by Lookout Point (of “Happy Valley” and “Gentlemen Jack”) for BBC Studios in partnership with Agatha Christie Limited. Phoebe Eclair-Powell will write the series as her first TV drama commission.
Tommy and Tuppence are an ageless detective pair, as a summary indicates. Their relationship ebbs and flows, with moments of love, separation, and reconciliation, while they unravel intriguing, captivating mysteries together.
The president and general manager of BritBox North America, Robert Schildhouse, stated: “Tommy & Tuppence offers a modern take on Agatha Christie’s iconic detective duo. With Phoebe Eclair-Powell’s excellent writing and the exceptional production team at Lookout Point, this series is set to be an engaging mix of romance and mystery.
There’s eager anticipation about the return of Tommy and Tuppence to the screens of BritBox viewers, as they journey through intrigue, enigma, and a touch of trouble once more.
Eclair-Powell stated: “Being an ardent fan of Agatha Christie, this position is like a dream come true for me. I am deeply appreciative to James Prichard and Agatha Christie Limited for giving me this opportunity. Working with the talented teams at Lookout Point and BritBox, who share my passion for Christie’s work, makes it an ideal collaboration.
The detective pair from Christie’s work possess a quick wit, keen intellect, and are eager to tackle numerous murder cases. They make one wonder if they’re destined to be more than mere crime partners… It’s a privilege to modernize Tommy and Tuppence for the 21st century.
The show has been greenlit by Robert Schildhouse, Jon Farrar, and Stephen Nye for BritBox. Additionally, Laura Lankester, Katie Draper, Louise Mutter from Lookout Point, as well as James Prichard from Agatha Christie Limited, are also serving as executive producers. Filming is set to commence towards the end of this year.
BBC Studios will be responsible for worldwide distribution. Their extensive library of adaptations based on Agatha Christie’s works features titles such as “Agatha Christie’s Towards Zero,” “Murder is Easy,” “Why Didn’t They Ask Evans?”, “Poirot,” “Marple,” and “The Pale Horse.
