The BBC is developing a new television series centered on Agatha Christie's detective Hercule Poirot. The network secured the project with a significant commitment after a bidding war with other outlets.
The series is expected to run for up to three seasons over the coming years. Season 1 is slated to premiere in late 2027, with Benji Walters, known for Obsession, writing the adaptation. Casting is currently underway for the lead role of the Belgian sleuth.
