Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials is based on the novel by the acclaimed mystery writer. It follows the case that begins as a harmless joke but takes a turn for the worse, resulting in a mysterious death. ‘Gerry’ (Corey Mylchreest) is found dead from a sleeping pill overdose, and one of the alarms has mysteriously disappeared.
As our leads follow the tangled web of conspiracies, hidden motives, and carefully planted clues tied to the cryptic phrase “Seven Dials”. And at the centre of it all is a young woman ‘Bundle’ (Mia McKenna-Bruce), unwilling to accept easy explanations. Written by Chris Chibnall, the series is a new take on Agatha Christie’s 1929 novel, The Seven Dials Mystery, which expands far beyond a single death, reprising the story with darker plot twists.

The mysterious death of ‘Gerry’ and ‘Ronnie’
Netflix released Seven Dials on January 15, 2026 (ET). The story follows ‘Bundle’ investigating the sudden demise of ‘Gerry Wade’, a young diplomat at the Foreign Office. The latter had a special connection with ‘Bundle’, having served in World War I alongside her brother ‘Tommy’, who died in the war. This made the demise even more painful, as ‘Gerry’ had hinted that he planned to propose to her. While others quickly accepted that he had committed s**cide, ‘Bundle’ is suspicious and finds alarm clocks on his mantelpiece, which we soon discover were not put there by his friends.
