Agatha Christie’s Tommy & Tuppence is the first contemporary English language television series adaptation of Agatha Christie’s stories.

The series is written by Phoebe Eclair-Powell (The Road Trip, Harm), who also executive produces, in her first drama series commission for television. Fergus O’Brien (Happy Valley, The Tourist) will direct the first four episodes and Ellie Heydon (Outrageous, Trying) the last two. Stella Merz (Miss Austen, Gentleman Jack) will produce.
