Pakistani star Nimra Bucha continues to make waves internationally as she has been confirmed to appear in the adaptation of Agatha Christie’s ‘Murder Is Easy’.
Having previously starred in acclaimed works like ‘Polite Society’ and ‘Ms. Marvel,’ Bucha will now portray the character of Mrs. Humbleby in the highly anticipated series.
Industry and Rye Lane star David Jonsson, Lord of the Rings lead Morfydd Clark, and Downton Abbey’s Penelope Wilton have been announced as part of the cast for BBC and Britbox International’s latest adaptation.
Set in 1954 England, the gripping story follows Fitzwilliam’s encounter with Miss Pinkerton (played by Wilton) on a train, who warns him about a serial killer on the loose in the tranquil village of Wychwood under Ashe. While the locals dismiss the deaths as accidents, Miss Pinkerton is convinced otherwise. Tragically, she is found dead on her way to Scotland Yard. Determined to apprehend the killer before they strike again, Fitzwilliam embarks on a perilous mission to uncover the truth.
In the upcoming two-part thriller series, Clark will portray the character Bridget, while Sinead Matthews (Hullraisers, The Crown) takes on the role of Miss Waynflete. Tom Riley (The Nevers, Ill Behaviour) is cast as Lord Whitfield, and Douglas Henshall (Shetland, In Plain Sight) will play Major Horton.
Additionally, Mathew Baynton (Ghosts, Wonka) joins the cast as Dr Thomas, Mark Bonnar (World on Fire, Guilt) as Reverend Humbleby, and Tamzin Outhwaite (The Tower, Ridley Road) as Mrs Pierce. Jon Pointing (Big Boys, Plebs) will portray Rivers, and Phoebe Licorish will make her screen debut as Rose.
Scripted by Siân Ejiwunmi-Le Berre and directed by Meenu Gaur, the adaptation is poised to captivate audiences worldwide. International sales for the series will be handled by Fifth Season.
