A new Agatha Christie adaptation is gaining traction on Netflix. Turns out, the queen of crime still has a large fanbase, and a solid cast coupled with a killer premise are tough to resist.
With 9.9 million views this week, Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials is currently the second most-watched series on the platform. Not only that, but it made the top 10 in 80 countries. Could this mean that a sequel is on the way?
Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials Season 2 Release Date
At the time of writing, there’s no word on whether the series will get a second season. That doesn’t mean it’s not possible. The production isn’t listed as a limited series on Netflix, so you never know.
While the central mystery is solved at the end of the three available episodes, the show leaves the door open for more stories. It might all come down to how many people tune in.
“If somebody ever wants to have a conversation with us about doing more, great. But mainly, I’m like I really hope people key into it and love it as much as we do,” creator Chris Chibnall said.
The main character in the story is featured in another Christie novel, and Superintendent Battle appears in multiple novels. If Netflix gives the green light, Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials season 2 could arrive in late 2027.

What Is Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials About?
The series centres on Lady Eileen “Bundle” Brent, a spirited young aristocrat in 1920s England. After a lavish country house party ends in tragedy, she finds herself drawn into a chilling mystery.
When her friend is found dead the morning after a prank involving alarm clocks, the death is dismissed as an accident. However, Bundle isn’t convinced. Determined to uncover the truth, she digs deeper. Before long, she uncovers cryptic clues and whispers of a secret society.
With help from Superintendent Battle, Bundle’s investigation leads to shocking revelations. By the time the end credits roll, the mystery is solved, and she receives an enticing invitation. Her future adventures could be a strong basis for Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials season 2.
