Agatha Christie's The Witness for the Prosecution

From the team behind 2015’s wildly successful adaptation of Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None comes “a thrilling whodunit packed with Christie’s trademark twists” (EW.com), set in 1920s London. When glamorous Emily French (Kim Cattrall, Sex and the City) is brutally murdered in her home, all the evidence points to French’s young lover, Leonard Vole (Billy Howle, On Chesil Beach), to whom the heiress left her fortune. Ms. French’s devoted housekeeper (Monica Dolan, The Casual Vacancy) proclaims Leonard’s guilt, but Leonard insists that his wife, enigmatic chorus girl Romaine (Andrea Riseborough, Bloodline, Birdman), can prove his innocence. As the scandalous crime goes to trial, solicitor John Mayhew (Toby Jones, Detectorists) finds that the case may be his undoing. Played to perfection by an illustrious cast, this “absorbing and grimly atmospheric” (The Wall Street Journal) drama shows that “Christie still has the power to give us goosebumps” (Metro News, UK).
