Production

[edit]

In January 2023, the series was bought by BBC One from BritBox. The BBC then developed plans to produce a sequel series to Magpie Murders.[1] Author Anthony Horowitz adapted his book for the series himself, which is directed by Rebecca Gatward.[2] The six-part series is produced by Eleventh Hour Films and executive produced by Jill Green, and made in association with PBS’s Masterpiece, for whom the first series attracted over five million viewers.[3][4]

In 2023, BBC began filming a series based on Moonflower Murders, expected to be released in 2024. Lesley Manville and Timothy McMullan reprised their roles as Susan and Atticus from the previous Magpie Murders series.[5] The series features new cast members including Mark Gatiss, Rosalie Craig, Pippa Bennett-Warner and Adrian Rawlins, as well as returning roles for Alexandros Logothetis, Daniel Mays, Claire Rushbrook, Conleth Hill, Matthew Beard and Sanjeev Kohli.[6]

Filming was completed by December 2023, with filming locations including Dublin and Crete.[7][8]

Broadcast

[edit]

The series was broadcast in the US on Masterpiece on September 15, 2024, and was broadcast on BBC One in the United Kingdom on November 16, 2024.[9]
