"Murdle" TV Series Based on Murder Mystery Puzzles in Works
Yara Sameh In a competitive situation, Amazon MGM Studios has landed for development Murdle, a scripted adaptation of G. T. Karber's multi-volume collection of murder mystery puzzles, from Legendary Television. Written by Jon Croker (Paddington) based on a story by Karber, Murdle is a quirky, voice-driven series in the vein of Knives Out and The Gentlemen about two rival members of a London-based detective club, who are forced to work together despite their very different approaches to solving murders. The project originated with Jessica Rhoades' Pacesetter which took the pitch to Legendary Television last fall. Amazon MGM Studios will now co-develop and co-produce the series with Legendary and Pacesetter for Prime Video. Executive producing Murdle are Croker, Karber as well as Rhoades and Alison Mo Massey for Pacesetter. This marks the latest high-profile murder mystery series project with a comedic bent as the genre has been on the upswing since the 2019 release of Rian Johnson's Knives Out. Murdle is looking to join Hulu's Only Murders In The Building, Johnson's Poker Face for Peacock, CBS' Elsbeth, HBO's The White Lotus and Netflix's The Residence, among others. To date, there have been five volumes in G. T. Karber's collection of murder mystery puzzles. The first Murdle tome was a Sunday Times #1 bestseller and won both Overall Book of the Year and Best Nonfiction Book at the 2024 British Book Awards. In addition to his work on Paddington 2, Croker co-wrote the Academy Award-winning short film "The Boy, The Mole, The Fox And The Horse" based on Charlie Mackesy's bestseller. His projects in the works include limited series "Hot Air," starring Andrew Garfield; Paul McCartney's animated film "High In The Clouds"; Disney film "Prince Charming", directed by Paul King; and "Skandar & The Unicorn Thief," a film adaptation of the bestseller, for Sony. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe Videos & Features Bouchra Dahlab Crowned Miss Arab World 2025 ..
