“'Ordeal by Innocence' was one of Christie's personal favourites, and I cannot wait to see how this outstanding cast will bring her story to life under the skillful direction of Sandra Goldbacher and the Mammoth Screen production team,” said James Prichard, executive producer and executive chairman of Agatha Christie Limited.

“To have Bill Nighy and Catherine Keener head up this all-star cast really is a testament to the depth and quality of my great grandmother's writing.”
