Earlier this week, major casting news was announced for a new adaptation of Agatha Christie's most famous creation: the Hercule Poirot mysteries. The "greatest detective in the world," it was revealed, will be played by Edward Bluemel in a new BBC and Britbox series, taking over from legendary performers such as David Suchet, Peter Ustinov, and most recently, Kenneth Branagh. Earlier this year, Netflix released Agatha Christie's Seven Dials, based on a nearly century-old novel. Meanwhile, work is underway on an adaptation of Christie's "Endless Knight." The "Queen of Crime" remains as popular as ever, and has inspired not only official adaptations such as the ones mentioned above, but also loosely inspired films and shows that take her tightly wound plots and take them into unexpected directions.
