Netflix today revealed first look photos for the upcoming psychological thriller, The Woman in Cabin 10, based on the bestselling novel by Ruth Ware.
Releasing on Netflix on October 10, Keira Knightley (Black Doves, Pirates of the Caribbean) stars as a journalist on board a luxury yacht for a travel assignment who witnesses a passenger thrown overboard, only to be told that it didn’t happen. All passengers and crew are accounted for, and despite no one believing her, she continues to look for answers, putting her own life in danger.
Directed by Simon Stone (The Dig, The Turning), the cast also includes Guy Pearce (The Brutalist, The Clearing), David Ajala (Nine Bodies in A Mexican Morgue, The Jetty), Art Malik (Disclaimer, The Little Mermaid), Gugu Mbatha-Raw, (Surface, Loki) Kaya Scodelario (The Gentlemen, Crawl), David Morrissey (The Walking Dead, Sherwood), Daniel Ings (The Gentlemen, Lovesick), Hannah Waddingham (Ted Lasso, Game of Thrones), Gitte Witt (Cadaver, The Sleepwalker), Christopher Rygh (Vikings: Valhalla, Medieval), Pippa Bennett-Warner (Gangs of London, Moonflower Murders), John MacMillan (House of the Dragon, Surface), Paul Kaye (Vera, Game of Thrones), Amanda Collin (Kaos, Raised by Wolves), and Lisa Loven Kongsli (Zack Snyder’s Justice League, Wonder Woman).
“I’ve said in acknowledgements before that it takes a village to make a book, but what I learned going on set for Cabin 10 is that it takes a whole town to make a film — it’s truly amazing seeing so many people working so hard on something you created. It’s also a big leap of faith, of course — like handing your baby over to strangers. But I feel Lo [played by Knightley] and company are in good hands,” author Ruth Ware tells Tudum.
“Cabin 10, at its heart, is about a woman who experiences something wrong, reports it truthfully, and isn’t taken seriously because of who she is. Too many people know what that feels like and I think we want vindication for ourselves as much as Lo,” Ware adds.
