Tommy and Tuppence

We are so excited to share a photo from Agatha Christie's Tommy & Tuppence which is currently being filmed in London.

Joining the previously announced Antonia Thomas (The Good Doctor, Still Up), Josh Dylan (Buccaneers, Mamma Mia 2) and Imelda Staunton (Harry Potter, the Paddington films) are:

• Nicholas Richardson (Wu-tang: An American Saga, Younger) as Julius, a charismatic film producer determined to win back his wife, Tuppence, when she suddenly leaves for London.
• Charlie Condou (Dr. Who, Unforgotten) as Albert, the witty, self-assured live-in landlady of the Lady Albert Pub in Hampstead and Tommy’s closest friend.
• Callie Cooke (F1, Cheaters) as Detective Sergeant Draper, a smart, idealistic newcomer eager to prove herself, but whose admiration for Tommy sees her willing to bend the rules.
• Chizzy Akudolu (Little Disasters, The Woman in the Wall) as Detective Inspector Merriot, a sharp, no-nonsense detective who doesn’t suffer fools.
• Sebastian De Souza (The Life List, The Great), Sean Pertwee (The Hack, Gotham), Saffron Burrows (You, Mozart In The Jungle), Alex Jennings (The Crown, This is Going to Hurt), Denise Black (Rivals, Queer As Folk) and Alice Krige (She Will, Gretel and Hansel) also join the cast as guest actors.

We are thrilled to share that Antonia Thomas (The Good Doctor, Still Up), Josh Dylan (Buccaneers, Mamma Mia 2), and Imelda Staunton (Harry Potter, the Paddington films) will star in Agatha Christie’s Tommy & Tuppence, a six-part contemporary adaptation of the Agatha Christie novels and short stories. BritBox is the lead commissioner on the series, which will be produced by Lookout Point (Happy Valley, Gentlemen Jack), part of BBC Studios, in association with Agatha Christie Limited. The series will begin shooting this autumn.

In the first contemporary English language television series adaptation of Agatha Christie’s stories, Tommy and Tuppence are a detective duo for the ages. They fall in love, fall out of it, and tumble back in, all while solving some thrilling, entertaining mysteries along the way.

Thomas will star as Tuppence, an actress and force of nature who won’t take no for an answer. Dylan will co-star as Tommy, a meticulous, charming crime writer who has lost his passion but finds it again when whirlwind Tuppence re-enters his life. Staunton rounds out the trio as Aunt Ada, a wry, retired private detective and funny powerhouse who loves her great nephew, Tommy, because he never undermines her - only a fool would do so.

The series is written by Phoebe Eclair-Powell (The Road Trip, Harm), who also executive produces, in her first drama series commission for television. Fergus O’Brien (Happy Valley, The Tourist) will direct the first four episodes and Ellie Heydon (Outrageous, Trying) the last two.

The series (6x45') was commissioned by Robert Schildhouse, Jon Farrar and Stephen Nye on behalf of BritBox. Laura Lankester, Katie Draper, and Louise Mutter from Lookout Point, Phoebe Eclair-Powell, along with James Prichard from Agatha Christie Limited, also executive produce. Stella Merz (Miss Austen, Gentleman Jack) will produce. BBC Studios will handle global sales.
