Creators aim to refresh Christie for younger viewers by centering a dynamic heroine with brisker pacing.

Overview

  • Netflix will release all three episodes globally on January 15.
  • Mia McKenna-Bruce leads as Lady Eileen “Bundle” Brent, with Helena Bonham Carter as her mother and Martin Freeman as Superintendent Battle.
