“England. 1925. At a lavish country house party, a prank seems to have gone terribly wrong. It will be up to the most unlikely of investigators (the effervescent and inquisitive Lady Eileen “Bundle” Brent) to unravel a chilling plot that will change their life, opening wide the mystery of the country house,” the official synopsis also revealed.
Mia McKenna Bruce, Martin Freeman and Helena Bonham Carter will be the protagonists of The Mystery of the Seven Spheres, although it is not yet known who else will accompany them in this story.
Additionally, Chris Chibnall is the main writer of the Netflix series. Suzanne Mackie and Chris Sussman will also join the production. All three names come from successful television projects such as Doctor Who, The Crown and Good Omens.
