Moonflower Murders Set to Premiere on BBC One
The highly anticipated sequel to *Magpie Murders*, titled *Moonflower Murders*, is set to premiere on BBC One on Saturday, 16 November 2024, at 9:15 PM GMT. This new six-part series, based on Anthony Horowitz's novel of the same name, returns with Lesley Manville in her role as Susan Ryeland, a former book editor turned sleuth. Following the dramatic events of the previous series, Ryeland has relocated to Crete, where she and her boyfriend Andreas have opened a quaint hotel. However, her tranquil life is disrupted when the parents of a missing woman seek her help. They believe their daughter's disappearance is linked to a murder that was fictionalised in a novel by the late author Alan Conway. *Moonflower Murders* combines present-day crime-solving with a narrative involving the fictional detective Atticus Pünd, creating a mystery that spans both the present and the 1950s. The series features a star-studded cast and promises to charm audiences with its blend of cosy crime and whimsy. Viewers can stream all six episodes on BBC iPlayer on the premiere day.
