LONDON UK (27 June 2023) - Today, Disney+ revealed that FX’s “A Murder at the End of the World,” a limited series set at the remote and isolated compound of a reclusive billionaire, will premiere Tuesday, August 29th exclusively on Disney+ in the UK. The series formerly known as “Retreat,” starring Emma Corrin (“The Crown”) as the amateur sleuth “Darby Hart” will premiere with the first two episodes, followed by a new episode each week.
“A Murder at the End of the World” is a mystery series with a new kind of detective at the helm — a Gen Z amateur sleuth and tech-savvy hacker named “Darby Hart” (Emma Corrin). Darby and eight other guests are invited by a reclusive billionaire (Clive Owen) to participate in a retreat at a remote and dazzling location. When one of the other guests is found dead, Darby must use all of her skills to prove it was murder against a tide of competing interests and before the killer takes another life.
The thrilling series stars Emma Corrin, Clive Owen, Harris Dickinson, Brit Marling, Alice Braga, Joan Chen, Raúl Esparza, Jermaine Fowler, Ryan J. Haddad, Pegah Ferydoni, Javed Khan, Louis Cancelmi, Edoardo Ballerini, Britian Seibert, Christopher Gurr, Kellan Tetlow, Daniel Olson and Neal Huff.
“A Murder at the End of the World” is created and directed by Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij. Marling and Batmanglij also executive produced alongside Andrea Sperling (“Transparent”), Melanie Marnich and Nicki Paluga.
