Horror Weekly News: Death and Other Details offers a new mystery. Frankenstein has a new cast member.

 

Get ready to be embroiled in another mystery. DEATH AND OTHER DETAILS is the new mystery series that is set to sail this January. 

The show is about a woman called Imogene who becomes the prime suspect when a murder takes place on a cruise she is on. But it is kind of her fault that she is the suspect in the first place.

A trailer for the show has dropped and gives further details on the mystery as well as offer a glimpse of the plot that resembles Agatha Christie’s mysteries. 

The show does seem to borrow styles from the recent Agatha Christie movie adaptations. There is an older man playing a detective whose personality is identical to Hercule Poirot minus the accent. 

The trailer shows an obnoxious passenger on the cruise ship who is simply too mean to the staff. Imogene, who is with a friend, decides the passenger needs to be taken down a notch. And because the passenger made a huge fuss about his expensive watch, Imogene enters his room in the middle of the night and smashes his watch. 

She does see the security camera as she leaves but thinks nothing of it. The next morning, that very passenger is found murdered. Imogene is shaken because guess who was seen exiting his room? Her, of course. 

And so when a detective comes aboard to solve the case, Imogene must help him even if she clearly doesn’t like him much. The detective is none other than Rufus Cotesworth whom Imogene despises. 

But he is the only one who can clear her name and coupled with her talents, maybe she can just about clear her name?

Along the way, Imogene gets into a romantic relationship as well but can she trust anyone considering that everyone on the cruise ship, including the staff, are suspects?

Death and Other Details looks like a fun show and who doesn’t like a good mystery intermingled with light moments?

The cast includes Mandy Patinkin, Violett Beane, and Rahul Kohli. 

DEATH AND OTHER DETAILS premieres on January 16th.
