Miramax TV Developing Agatha Christie Limited Series Based on the Novel THE CHRISTIE AFFAIR

Miramax TV has picked up the rights to Nina de Gramont’s upcoming novel The Christie Affair, which they are set to turn into a limited series. British writer Juliette Towhidi (Calendar Girls) is set to pen the adaptation, which will tell the reimagining of Agatha Christie’s 11-day disappearance.

Deadline provides the following description:

In 1926, when her husband’s affair became public, Agatha Christie vanished for eleven days. This reimagining is told through the eyes of her husband’s mistress, Nan O’Dea (a fictionalized version of his real-life paramour, Nancy Neele). Agatha and Nan transform from competitors to unlikely allies while the world around them remains cloaked in the dark, unable to grasp the complexities of each woman’s relationship to her past and her female identity. Set mostly in the beautiful and historic British spa town of Harrogate, The Christie Affair is part sweeping love story– but not the one you expect — part exploration of the bonds of womanhood and part murder mystery to rival one of Christie’s own, now very famous stories.

This sounds fantastic! I love a good mystery, and this sounds like a really intriguing story. St. Martin’s Press, which picked up The Christie Affair preemptively for seven figures, will publish the book on February 1, 2022.

Does this sound like a book and series you’d be interested in?
