David Suchet in Agatha Christie's "Dead Man's Folly"

Great news! Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot mystery series has another production underway--Dead Man's Folly--which will be filmed at Greenway, Agatha Christie's home, which is now owned by the National Trust.

David Suchet will again star as Hercule Poirot in "Dead Man's Folly." Zoƫ Wanamaker plays another of Christie's detectives, mystery writer Ariadne Oliver. Oliver asks Poirot to join in a "murder-hunt" party at Nasse House in Devon. During the game, the "pretend" murder suddenly becomes alarmingly real.
"Dead Man's Folly" features in the 13th and final Poirot TV series which will include five Agatha Christie adaptations, "Labours of Hercules," "The Big Four," "Elephants Can Remember" and "Curtain".

The BBC says that with the July 2013 conclusion of the current ITV series, David Suchet will have appeared in a depiction of each novel Christie wrote about Poirot – over 65 television programs. Suchet began his portrayal of Poirot in 1989.
