Sarah Phelps is adapting Agatha Christie\u2019s Endless Night for BBC iPlayer and BBC One in a co-commission with BritBox International.<\/p>\n
Produced by Mammoth Screen and Agatha Christie Limited, the three-parter is Phelps\u2019s sixth Christie adaptation made by Mammoth Screen and Agatha Christie Limited for the BBC, following And Then There Were None<\/em>, The Witness For The Prosecution<\/em>, Ordeal By Innocence<\/em>, The ABC Murders<\/em> and The Pale Horse<\/em>. Fifth Season will handle global distribution.<\/p>\n Phelps said, \u201cI\u2019m so excited to be teaming up again with ACL, Mammoth Screen and the BBC for Endless Night<\/em>. One of Agatha Christie\u2019s last novels, this is a chilling story of love, sex, deceit and death, of how far we\u2019ll go to get our hearts desire and what we\u2019ll do when night falls and the wolves start circling.”<\/p>\n James Prichard, executive producer for Agatha Christie Limited, added: “We are so happy to be continuing our partnership with Mammoth, BBC and Britbox and renewing acquaintance with Sarah Phelps. Endless Night<\/em> is one of my great grandmother\u2019s best stories. It is also one of my father\u2019s personal favourites. It is an extraordinary feat of writing, made even more impressive by the age at which she wrote it. I cannot wait to see what Sarah and the team produce.”<\/p>\n Rebecca Durbin and Damien Timmer, executive producers for Mammoth Screen, noted, \u201cIn 2015 Sarah Phelps won great acclaim for her adaption of And Then There Were None<\/em>, which launched a new series of standalone Agatha Christie titles for the BBC, and we\u2019re beyond delighted that she\u2019s returning to take on Endless Night<\/em>, Christie\u2019s late masterpiece from 1967. Episode one of Towards Zero<\/em> has been watched by 6 million people in the U.K. since March, and is one of BritBox’s biggest launches to date in the US, so we have high hopes this new title will delight Christie fans everywhere!’<\/p>\n Lindsay Salt, director of drama at the BBC, said. \u201cWe are delighted to team up again with Agatha Christie Limited and Mammoth Screen to announce our next tale from the undisputed Queen of Crime: Endless Night<\/em>. The phenomenal Sarah Phelps\u2019 previous adaptations have thrilled millions and we could not be happier to have her bring this unique and chilling mystery to BBC iPlayer and BBC One.\u201d<\/p>\n Robert Schildhouse, president of BritBox North America and general manager of BritBox International, remarked, \u201cOur partnership with the BBC, Agatha Christie Limited and Mammoth Screen has delivered three outstanding Agatha Christie adaptations, all of which have been BritBox hits. Towards Zero<\/em> debuted at number one, with the largest first week absolute viewership and engagement of any premiere on BritBox ever. We\u2019re so pleased to continue this collaboration with a fourth addition, Endless Night<\/em>. As BritBox is the home to the largest collection of Agatha Christie titles in North America, we know our audiences\u2014devotees to crime and mystery\u2014will massively enjoy this series. And Sarah Phelps is the ideal match for adapting the compelling classic.
