“Someone, somewhere, unbeknownst to us, laying a trap…” “What have you done?!” BBC & BritBox have revealed official trailers for the new murder mystery mini-series titled Towards Zero, created by BBC for streaming on BBC’s iPlayer. It just launched this week and is available to watch now online if you’re curious to find out what is going on in this family. An explosive love triangle, a formidable matriarch, and a house party of enemies. Based on the classic mystery by the best-selling author, Agatha Christie, adapted from her novel also titled “Towards Zero“. After a scandalous celebrity divorce, a British tennis star – Nevile Strange – and his ex-wife make the unthinkable decision to spend a summer together. This three-part whodunit series involves a recently divorced British tennis player holidaying at his aristocratic aunt’s house on the south coast of England in the 1930s, where a widow suddenly ends up dead. The grandiose ensemble cast features Anjelica Huston, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Ella Lily Hyland, Mimi Keene, Jackie Clune, Grace Doherty, Jack Farthing, Clarke Peters, Matthew Rhys, Anjana Vasan, and Alexander Cobb. This looks like another twisted mystery from Christie’s mind. It starts out all calm then gets extra wild at the end.
