According to a new report from Deadline, the BBC is developing a major new television adaptation centered on Hercule Poirot, the legendary Agatha Christie detective who once famously described himself as “the greatest detective in the world" in the 1928 novel "The Mystery of the Blue Train."
The reboot is reportedly being developed by Mammoth Screen, the production company behind several previous Agatha Christie adaptations, including And Then There Were None and Murder Is Easy. Mammoth founder Damien Timmer also previously executive-produced episodes of Poirot, the long-running ITV adaptation starring David Suchet.
Casting for Poirot himself is also reportedly underway, a role likely to generate enormous interest given the detective’s legendary status in popular culture. Over the decades, Poirot has been portrayed by actors including Alfred Molina, John Malkovich, Peter Ustinov and Suchet, whose version remains the definitive Poirot for many viewers.
The meticulous Belgian detective became famous for his waxed moustache, immaculate appearance and reliance on what he called his “little grey cells” to solve crimes through psychology and logic rather than brute force.
The Christie universe has seen a major resurgence in recent years. Netflix recently released Seven Dials, while BritBox is currently developing a new adaptation of Agatha Christie’s Tommy & Tuppence. Kenneth Branagh also recently revived Poirot on the big screen with Murder on the Orient Express, Death on the Nile and A Haunting in Venice.
