ITV confirmed a licensing agreement with Disney Entertainment making ITV the free-to-air home of FX’s critically acclaimed limited series A Murder at the End of the World in the UK, which will stream on ITVX from 25th May.
The mystery series follows Emma Corrin (The Crown) as Darby Hart, a Gen Z amateur sleuth and tech-savvy hacker who – along with eight other guests – is invited by a reclusive billionaire 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 seven-part 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, written and directed by Brit Marling & Zal Batmanglij. Marling and Batmanglij also executive produced alongside Andrea Sperling (Transparent), Melanie Marnich and Nicki Paluga. The seven-episode limited series is also written by Marnich and Rebecca Roanhorse and is produced by FX Productions.
Sasha Breslau, Head of Content Acquisitions at ITV, said: “Emma Corrin captivates alongside co-creator Brit Marling and Clive Owen in this compelling mystery drama. We’re delighted to bring this premium miniseries to audiences at ITVX.”
