Agatha Christie Detectives Tommy & Tuppence Get Modern Makeover In BritBox Series


BritBox has greenlit a modern reimagining of Agatha Christie's Tommy & Tuppence detective characters from 'Happy Valley' producer Lookout Point.

BritBox has greenlit a six-part series that will reimagine Tommy and Tuppence Beresford in the modern world, more than a century after they first appeared together in Christie’s The Secret Adversary. Tommy and Tuppence have appeared in numerous adaptations over the years, most recently being played by David Walliams and Jessica Raine in Partners in Crime, the 2015 BBC series. Draper said: “Phoebe’s wonderful scripts combine screwball comedy, playful romance and thrilling murder to bring an exhilarating modern-day twist to Christie’s iconic detective duo.”
