All the details about BBC One’s Marble Hall Murders, confirmed
Remember Moonflower Murders, which starred Lesley Manville and aired on BBC One last year? It was one of the BBC’s most-watched acquired scripted shows - and the megahit is officially returning for a follow-up series. Hurrah!
An adaptation of the third and final instalment in novelist Anthony Horowitz's bestselling Susan Ryeland series, Manville and Tim McMullan will reprise their roles as Susan Ryeland, the book editor who all too often finds herself involved in baffling murders, and literary detective Atticus Pünd. With a new murder case to solve, Susan is once again about to find herself in danger!
“I’m so happy to bring the team back – stars, director, producers, and crew – for a third instalment of what has been a fantastically successful TV series. I have a feeling this could be the best yet, says Anthony Horowitz.”
Here’s everything you need to know about the new series…
What's the plot of Marble Hall Murders?
The official BBC synopsis states: Returning to England, [Susan] is reluctantly drawn into a new Atticus Pünd mystery, this time written by a new, young writer.
“‘Pünd's Last Case’ is a story set in 1955, in an exotic villa in Corfu – but the identity of a real killer is hidden in the text, and once again Susan is going to find herself in grave danger.”
If you’ve read Horowitz’s novels, you’ll know that Susan must solve the murder of Miriam Crace, described as "the most famous children’s author in the world".
Who's starring in Marble Hall Murders?
So far, the only two confirmed cast members are Lesley Manville and Tim McMullan, who will both reprise their roles. Rebecca Gatward will also return to direct and Suzanne McAuley will return as producer.
How can I watch Marble Hall Murders?
While we don’t have a confirmed release date just yet, we do know that Marble Hall Murders will film in March in Dublin, Corfu, and London, before airing on BBC One and iPlayer. In the meantime, Moonflower Murders and Magpie Murders are available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
