They give a real flavour of the depth and quality of my great grandmother’s work, and I am sure audiences will enjoy them.Premise: After a chance encounter during World War I, childhood friends Tommy Beresford and Prudence "Tuppence" Cowley meet again in 1919 in London. James Prichard, CEO and chairman of Agatha Christie Limited, added: “I am delighted to see all these shows available in the North America on BritBox.

The streamer is also working with the estate and the producers to create a full HD restoration of Partners In Crime, which will release in July. The latter is based on Christie’s first novel of the same name, which has its 100th anniversary this year.īritBox is also prepping a June line-up of Why Didn’t They Ask Evans? and The Seven Dials Mystery, both starring John Gielgud, as well as The Secret Adversary, a prequel about Partners In Crime duo Tommy and Tuppence, starring Francesca Annis and James Warwick.
The BBC Studios and ITV-backed SVOD is adding to its existing Agathe Christie slate with seasons nine to 12 of David Suchet-starring Poirot and a special, Poirot: Mysterious Affair At Styles, which will launch 15 May. North American streamer BritBox has struck a far-reaching deal that will see it offering the largest overall collection of Agatha Christie adaptations in the US, including numerous TV shows as well as audio plays and films.
