Netflix drops fresh look at new mystery thriller with Keira Knightley — and this movie turns a luxury cruise into a nightmare
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Netflix is on a roll lately when it comes to thrillers, and honestly, it's no surprise. Viewers eat this genre up like it's the most irresistible treat on streaming. As someone who dives into thrillers regularly, I'm usually all in when Netflix drops something new. That's exactly the case with 'The Woman in Cabin 10,' an upcoming murder mystery that follows Keira Knightley's character as she witnesses someone being thrown off a luxury yacht, only for no one to believe her. Sure, it's not the most original premise, but since it's based on Ruth Ware's bestselling novel, I've got high hopes it'll at least be a gripping watch. And with Knightley at the center (coming off her strong performance in the Netflix thriller series 'Black Doves'), this one's definitely on my radar. We got a first-look image back in January, but now there's a fresh batch of photos to check out and a release date set for October 10. The official synopsis for this thriller reads: 'While on a luxury yacht for a travel assignment, a journalist witnesses a passenger tossed overboard late one night, only to be told that she must have dreamed it, as all passengers are accounted for. Despite not being believed by anyone onboard, she continues to look for answers, putting her own life in danger.' Netflix's newly released images show more of Knightley's character, Lo, looking increasingly worried. We also get a better look at other key characters, including David Ajala as Adam, Guy Pearce as Bullmer, Hannah Waddingham as Heidi and David Morrissey as Thomas. I was already intrigued thanks to the stacked cast and the mystery at its core, but these new images have only ramped up my excitement. What else do we know about 'The Woman in Cabin 10'? 'The Woman in Cabin 10' is based on some pretty strong source material. After all, Ruth Ware's novel was a No. 2 New York Times bestseller and helped catapult her books onto multiple bestseller lists worldwide. It has sold well as part of Ware's overall catalog, which exceeds ten million copies globally. Although the book was published a decade ago, Ware feels its themes still hit home today. 'The fear of not being believed is perennial, unfortunately,' she tells Netflix 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.' Simon Stone directed the movie and also co-wrote the script alongside Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse. Stone's previous movies like 'The Daughter' and 'The Dig' show his skill at crafting emotionally charged, character-driven stories with a strong sense of atmosphere and tension. His past work shows he focuses a lot on character and atmosphere, so it's likely 'The Woman in Cabin 10' will pay close attention to the characters' emotions and relationships, not just the suspenseful plot. Other cast members include Gitte Witt, Art Malik, Daniel Ings, Christopher Rygh, Paul Kaye, Kaya Scodelario, Lisa Loven Kongsli, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, John Macmillan, Pippa Bennett-Warner, and Ayọ̀ Owóyẹmi-Peters. Ware also talked more about her excitement for the adaptation: '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.' Hopefully, in the coming week,s Netflix releases a trailer for 'The Woman in Cabin 10,' because I'm keen to see more. At least we know it arrives on October 10, and until then, I'll be streaming other mystery thrillers on Netflix to keep my excitement levels at bay. This seems like a deadly cruise you don't want to miss in fall. Stream 'The Woman in Cabin 10' on Netflix starting October 10.

Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo enjoy 'slice of heaven' vacation... nearly three years after 'sexting' scandal
Adam Levine and wife Behati Prinsloo seemed to be having the time of their lives if photos the model posted on social media are any indication. Prinsloo, 37, shared the fun-filled photos on her Instagram page on Thursday, writing that they were reflecting 'A slice of heaven,' though she didn't say where they and their family and friends were visiting. The couple appeared to be reinvigorating their romance almost three years after their marriage was beset by the Maroon 5 frontman's sordid 'sexting' scandal. Levine, 46, and his family chartered a luxury yacht that appeared to be tooling around the Mediterranean. One photo showed the runway regular flaunting her long, lean legs in a navy blue one-piece bathing suit with white trim. The cover model placed a dark towel over her shoulder and wore a beige billed hat and sunglasses as folks behind her worked with a motorized dingy used to transport guests to shore. A group shot featured several adults and kids out on the deck of the ship enjoying a little sunbathing. Levine seemed to enjoy getting some sun while a knee-length pair of swim shorts and a straw western hat against the backdrop of sapphire blue waters and towering cliffs. One sweet shot showed the Sugar singer holding hands with one of his daughters and his son as they looked over the rail of the yacht and into the horizon. The couple are the parents to daughters Dusty Rose, eight; Gio Grace, seven and a son, two, whose name has not has not been released. After seeing the photos, fellow model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley responded with a series of heart emojis, as did several others. 'What an awesome trip. Family and friends, the best!❤️,' commented a fan. 'Perfection!' stated another. Many guessed the group was enjoying time in Italy after seeing a photo of Levine in front of a Gelato sign. 'Family goals ❤️ love Italy and Capri,' wrote a fan. The scene of domestic bliss was a far cry from the drama of 2022, when the Levine–Prinsloo marriage was rocked after several women shared screenshots of what they said were flirty texts sent to them by the singer. One of the women even claimed to have had an affair with the Misery singer, which he denied. He did, however, apologize for the inappropriate messages, saying he 'used poor judgment in speaking with anyone other than my wife in ANY kind of flirtatious manner.' Earlier in the week, Prinsloo posted a sweet selfie of herself and Levine, writing 'LOML [Love of my Life]' next to it. Levine and Maroon 5 have a light summer touring schedule planned. The band is set to perform in Endicott, New York, on July 11; New York City on August 11 and September 19 in Las Vegas at the iHeart Music Festival.

Oyster's Seductive New 805 Sailing Yacht Revealed At UK Private View
Edging ever closer to the luxuries normally found on contemporary power yachts, this new 805 supersailor from Oyster Yachts whispers seductively in luxury's ear. It beckons those who demand authentic value for their investment, delivering rare and exclusive pillars of luxury: durability, craftsmanship, quality, and design. It is also rare, as the yachtbuilder releases between 20 and 30 yachts per year. At the London event, Oyster announced the 805 from the elegant St. Katharine Docks in early May during a Private View that also featured the Oyster 565, 595, 675, and 885 SII. Nicely fitting between Oyster's 745 and 885 Series II, the first 805 is expected to splash in 2027. A UK brand, leading the 50 to 90 foot range of luxury sailing yachts for more than 50 years, Oyster was acquired in 2018 by UK software entrepreneur Richard Hadida, moving the revered brand from a precarious financial position to a solid place of ownership with strong sales attributed to Oyster's reputation for quality sailing yachts. Torsten Müller-Ötvös, previous CEO at Rolls-Royce, was named Strategic Advisor, as announced at the London event. The 805 follows the form and function Oyster is known for, including the efficient plumb bow that slices through water better than raked designs, while creating a more spacious interior below deck. Another Oyster signature, the extended bow, allows the yacht to carry more sail area for faster passagemaking and cruising, easily handling code zeroes, spinnakers, and storm jibs. Also an Oyster feature, the flush, skyscape windows on the clean teak deck keep the lines defined and flowing while delivering natural light to the salon and guest spaces below. The 805 measures 83 feet in length with a beam just over 21 feet and a draft of between 11.2 feet on the standard keel and 8.7 feet on the shoal keel. The 805 is designed with a full-beam master cabin aft, with two additional guest cabins to port and starboard and one forward, all en suite, accommodating eight guests. The design can be customized to various layouts. The dual helm stations are placed a little further forward than most, offering improved views for the helmsmen. A slightly lowered helm position deck on the footing area, angled on the port and starboard sides of each helm, allows for a sturdy foot position when heeling. New wing stations to both port and starboard sides give guests and crew a great view of the path forward. A large aft deck with twin stair access to the swim platform emphasizes the spaciousness of the aft end of the yacht. On the 805's foredeck, a recessed tender well doubles as a casual lounge at anchor, when the tender is docked at the large, twin access swim platform. The center cockpit is fitted with an integrated daybed, transforming to an alfresco dining area. The cockpit can be fitted with a solar Starlight Bimini providing generous shade. A productive study in space and line, this bluewater cruiser displays Humphreys Yacht Design defined by a long, sleek profile, punctuated by three sets of three vertical windows interspersed with large horizontal hull ports. That continues the light, bright look of the saloon and guest cabins. Customization allows owners to prioritize the use of four guest cabins to their liking, designing for things like a gym, an office, or a library. That fourth cabin can also serve as part of an open space plan by day, converting to a cabin at night via a concealed door. The salon configuration can also include a day bar for convenient refreshment. Powered by a Cummins turbocharged B4.5 250, the engine operates at 186 kW (250 hp) at 2600 rpm. The sail area measures 3,721 square feet, including the 105 percent foretriangle, with the sail plan adjusted for choice of keel. Air draft measures 121'78" excluding antennae. Connected technology is supplied via Oyster Command™, an intuitive CZone digital switching system that integrates navigation, entertainment, and black box monitoring systems. Oyster Command™ controls all main systems, infotainment, satellite, WiFi options, and a dedicated home office via touchscreen or on the Oyster App. Delivery dates are currently scheduled at 26 months from date of order. Designed for performance without compromise, Oyster Yachts pride themselves on building yachts with robust engineering and powerful sail plans using vigorous sail handling systems. The luxurious interiors on this Oyster Yachts 805 a most comfortable bluewater passagemaker suited to long, intrepid adventures, but no one says it can't also be used for a leisurely afternoon sail. Either way, the 805 seems up to the task.

The seedy underbelly of luxury yachts, where billionaires get escorts to whip them on deck and openly take cocaine
STANDING on the deck of a £500,000 extremely luxurious 'floating palace', I thought I was going to throw up. Not because I was out at sea and couldn't find my sea legs but because I was witnessing a fully grown man in his fifties sucking on a baby's dummy. 6 6 6 Worse still, instead of normal underwear he was proudly wearing a nappy and the woman beside him had been tasked with changing it. It's a strange world when you're seen as the lucky one because your job is simply to wash the dummies and feed the man his milk. It was just one of many shocking sights I witnessed during the five or so months I worked onboard a luxury yacht as a stewardess last summer. And one of the reasons why I'll never go back, despite being paid an eye-watering fortune in tips, up to £7000 a week for each charter. From liaisons with sex workers on deck to cocaine binges and used condoms left lying around, nothing was off limits. It truly was an eyeopener and one I'm in no rush to repeat. I was working in a low paid job as a waitress when a friend first introduced me to the scene in March last year. She raved about the pay - the salary and tips combined were around £8000 for the season - and although she did warn me that it could be seedy onboard, nothing could've prepared me for the reality. First, I underwent a week-long training course in Spain which involved learning fire drills, evacuations, water survival and first aid. It cost around £2000, my mum covered the cost, and then I was ready for my baptism of fire, literally thrown in at the deep end. I was already on board with three other female stewardesses when the owner, a 60-year-old oligarch, joined us. The demands came thick and fast: 'Find me three escorts for me and two friends at our next port.' he barked. "I want blue eyes, blonde hair, slim and classy looking, nothing trashy – we want the girlfriend experience.' With no clue where to start one of the other girls who had made similar arrangements before, guided me through it. We found an escort agency - who seemed very familiar with the request - and the women were paid £2000 each, per day. The day they arrived, I met them on shore to bring them onto the four-bedroomed luxurious yacht. They were stunningly beautiful and seemed so comfortable I knew it wasn't their first time. 6 6 6 Not only were they expected to have sex onboard but they were there to look decorative too - the filthy rich men loved to show them off when the boat moored in different locations for dinner at night. And this wasn't just a one off. When that rental ended after a week, the men who hired it next made similar requests - sometimes swapping women daily for their pleasure. Nearly all the men were very rich businessmen, none of them were instantly recognisable, and a couple of DJs. The jobs the hired women were expected to do were horrific and I still get flashbacks to the adult baby scenario I was unfortunate enough to witness. The woman, a sex worker, didn't flinch as she dutifully performed her job of swapping one nappy for another. Neither did another escort who had to chase one of the men round the boat with a whip. These men had no morals. Aside from hiring women they'd also arrange their own – influencers or models, dripping with diamonds and designer gear. Some of the more reserved types brought along their wives or girlfriends, all ridiculously stunning. Once during my stint onboard we sailed from Marbella to Ibiza and the businessman who had hired the yacht took his wife one way and swapped her for his girlfriend on the return leg. I was paranoid that I'd get their names mixed up. Sometimes they even brought both the wife and girlfriend on board and I recall the captain telling one very good-looking male crew member that it was fine to sleep with the oligarch's wife, but touching his girlfriend was forbidden. The wives just turned a blind eye, presumably because they loved the lifestyle so much to risk losing it. Regardless of who they were with, these men had no qualms about having sex on deck, including group sex. 'Humiliating' Often fuelled by cocaine - they'd openly take drugs in front of us - the men would ogle the crew girls and 'accidentally' touch our breasts and bottoms far too often. Truthfully - and wrongly - we put up with it, because the tips were so good. We certainly earnt our tips too – the work was back breaking - and we had to be up at 6am, well before the passengers, if they'd planned an early breakfast. First, we had to clean all the decks and lay the tables to perfection. Breakfast would be full of exquisitely prepared fruit platters, all the pastries you can possibly imagine as well as cold meats and cooked breakfasts. The options were endless and champagne was on tap. One of my most humiliating moments was when a guest spat out the food he didn't like and demanded I clean it up. Each day was exhausting both mentally and physically. We'd often be working into the early hours before collapsing into our bunk beds, waiting for the morning to start all over again. Being a yacht girl is a thankless task, and all the money in the world wouldn't be enough to entice me back for another season Yacht crew member The jobs were degrading too, these men had no shame. Sex toys and used condoms were left on the bed, and crew girls like me were expected to clean the toys before putting them on the bedside table. When I reflect, it turns my stomach, and when I stopped being revolted and came to think that what I was doing was 'normal', I knew my work on board was done. I haven't gone back since and now I'm happily back working as a waitress while I save up to go to university, no longer treated like a skivvy. Being a yacht girl is a thankless task, and all the money in the world wouldn't be enough to entice me back for another season. My feet are staying firmly on dry land from now on.
