‘Murdle’ TV Series Based On Murder Mystery Puzzles In Works At Amazon From Legendary
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: The murder mystery TV series resurgence continues. In a competitive situation, Amazon MGM Studios has landed for development Murdle, a scripted adaptation of G.
T. Karber’s multi-volume collection of murder mystery puzzles, from Legendary Television. Written by Jon Croker (Paddington) based on a story by Karber, Murdle is a quirky, voice-driven series in the vein of Knives Out and The Gentlemen about two rival members of a London-based detective club, who are forced to work together despite their very different approaches to solving murders.
The project originated with Jessica Rhoades’ Pacesetter which took the pitch to Legendary Television last fall. Amazon MGM Studios will now co-develop and co-produce the series with Legendary for Prime Video.
Executive producing Murdle are Croker, Karber as well as Rhoades and Alison Mo Massey for Pacesetter. This marks the latest high-profile murder mystery series project with a comedic bent as the genre has been on the upswing since the 2019 release of Rian Johnson’s Knives Out.
