This tale of unbridled passion and incapacitating jealousy is directed by and stars five-time Academy Award® nominee Kenneth Branagh and features an all-star cast of suspects.

In DEATH ON THE NILE, Belgian sleuth Hercule Poirot’s Egyptian vacation aboard a glamorous river steamer turns into a terrifying search for a murderer when a picture-perfect couple’s idyllic honeymoon is tragically cut short. Set against an epic landscape of sweeping desert vistas and the majestic Giza pyramids, this tale of unbridled passion and incapacitating jealousy features a cosmopolitan group of impeccably dressed travelers, and enough wicked twists and turns to leave audiences guessing until the final, shocking denouement.

Five-time Academy Award® nominee Kenneth Branagh returns as director and once again stars as famed Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. He is joined by an all-star cast of suspects which includes: Tom Bateman (who reprises the role of Bouc from Murder on the Orient Express), four-time Oscar® nominee Annette Bening (Captain Marvel), Russell Brand (“Ballers”), Ali Fazal (Victoria & Abdul), Dawn French (“French and Saunders”), Gal Gadot (“Wonder Woman”), Armie Hammer (Call Me by Your Name), Rose Leslie (“Game of Thrones”), Emma Mackey (“Sex Education”), Sophie Okonedo (The Secret Life of Bees), Jennifer Saunders (“Absolutely Fabulous”) and Letitia Wright (Black Panther).

The screenplay for the film, adapted from Christie’s 1937 novel, is once again written by Michael Green (“American Gods”, Blade Runner 2049) with Ridley Scott (Alien: Covenant, Blade Runner), Mark Gordon (Molly’s Game, Saving Private Ryan), Simon Kinberg (Fantastic Four, Dark Phoenix), Branagh, and Judy Hofflund (Artemis Fowl) returning as producers. Matthew Jenkins and James Prichard return as executive producers.

DEATH ON THE NILE opens in U.S. theaters on October 23, 2020. Murder was just the beginning.
