FILMING BEGINS ON MINISERIES BASED ON AGATHA CHRISTIE'S "AND THEN THERE WERE NONE" FOR LIFETIME AND BBC ONE

LONDON/LOS ANGELES, CA (July 13, 2015) - BBC One and Lifetime have partnered on a miniseries based on Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None, one of the best-selling crime novels of all time, with 100 million copies sold worldwide.

Written by Sarah Phelps (The Casual Vacancy, Great Expectations) and produced by Mammoth Screen and Agatha Christie Productions, production on And Then There Were None has begun in London and Cornwall. The miniseries stars Douglas Booth (Great Expectations, The Riot Club), Emmy(R) Award nominee Charles Dance (Game of Thrones, The Imitation Game), Maeve Dermody (Black Water, Beautiful Kate), Burn Gorman (The Dark Knight Rises, Torchwood), BAFTA winner Anna Maxwell Martin (The Bletchley Circle, Death Comes to Pemberley), Emmy and Golden Globe(R) Award nominee Sam Neill (Peaky Blinders, The Tudors), Academy Award(R) nominee Miranda Richardson (Mapp & Lucia, Parade's End), Toby Stephens (Black Sails, Jane Eyre), Screen Actors Guild Award(R) nominee Noah Taylor (Peaky Blinders, Game of Thrones) and Aidan Turner (Poldark, The Hobbit Trilogy).

Set in 1939 while Europe teeters on the brink of war, And Then There Were None follows ten strangers with dubious pasts who are lured to Soldier Island, an isolated rock near the Devon coast in southern England. Cut off from the mainland, with their hosts mysteriously absent, they are each accused of a terrible crime, and when members of the party start to mysteriously die, they all realize they may be harboring a murderer among their number. Who will survive? And who is the killer?

And Then There Were None is a co-production for BBC One and Lifetime in the US. A+E Networks will handle international sales for And Then There Were None under the A+E Studios International banner.
