A brand-new period crime drama has taken Netflix by storm, with subscribers already clamouring for a second season mere hours after its release. Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials, a three-part murder mystery, has rocketed to the number two spot on the streamer's UK TV charts, captivating audiences and leaving them desperate for more of Lady Eileen 'Bundle' Brent's investigations.
A 'Perfect' Adaptation Ignites Fan Passion
Released this week, the series features an all-star cast including Mia McKenna-Bruce as the intrepid socialite Bundle, alongside Helena Bonham Carter and Martin Freeman. The plot centres on a tragic event at Bundle's stately home, Chimneys, where a guest is found dead following a prank. While authorities dismiss it as suicide, a grief-stricken Bundle is determined to uncover the truth, plunging her into a dangerous inquiry.
Despite receiving a mixed critical reception, the show has been hailed as "perfect" by fans on social media. Many have praised its three-episode format, stellar cast, and execution, calling it "British TV at its best." The fervour has translated into immediate online campaigns for Netflix to greenlight further episodes.
Twist Ending Fuels Speculation for Bundle's Return
The final episode's jaw-dropping twists have led many viewers to believe the story is far from over. Discussions on platforms like X, Reddit, and IMDb are rife with theories and hopes for a continuation. One fan on IMDb, who gave the series a 10/10 rating, expressed seeing "tremendous potential for future missions of the seven dials" and urged Netflix to invest.
Another viewer on X stated it was "very important" to see at least one more season exploring Bundle's new role. The speculation was echoed on Reddit, where users agreed the ending felt like a "possible pilot for continuation" and was left deliberately "open." Some fans have even called for seven seasons of seven episodes each, or a prequel adapting Christie's The Secret of Chimneys.
Netflix Holds the Key to Chimneys' Future
As of now, Netflix has not confirmed a second season for Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials. However, the overwhelming fan reaction and the drama's surprise ending have clearly set the stage for Bundle Brent's return. The series' rapid ascent in the Top 10 demonstrates a ready audience, leaving the streaming giant with a compelling case to order more episodes. For now, all three parts of the mystery are available to stream on Netflix.
