Angelica Huston, Matthew Rhys, and Jack Farthing are among the cast of the BBC’s three-part adaptation of Agatha Christie’s Towards Zero.

Set in England in 1936, the story follows tennis star Nevile Strange (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) and his ex-wife Audrey (Ella Lily Hyland) as they decide to spend a summer together at Gull’s Point, their childhood home and the coastal estate of Nevile’s aunt, Lady Tressilian (Anjelica Huston).

With unfinished business between the former childhood sweethearts, plus the presence of Nevile’s new wife Kay (Mimi Keene), tensions are running high. Add to this a long-suffering lady’s companion, a mysterious gentleman’s valet, an exiled cousin with a grudge, a venerable family lawyer, an inquisitive orphan and a French con man, and soon there will be murder. A troubled detective must rediscover his purpose to untangle a toxic web of jealousy, deceit and dysfunction. Can he solve the crime before another victim meets their death?

Filming is already underway in and around Bristol and on the Devon coast.

The series will air on BBC iPlayer and BBC One, and on BritBox International’s streaming service in the US and Canada.
