Lesley Manville to Lead 'Magpie Murders' TV Adaptation, Peter Cattaneo Set to Direct
Lesley Manville is set to star in the upcoming adaptation of Anthony Horowitz's crime novel Magpie Murders for PBS Masterpiece and Britbox UK, with Peter Cattaneo (The Full Monty) attached to direct. Manville —an Oscar and BAFTA nominee for Phantom Thread who is set to portray Princess Margaret in the fifth and sixth seasons of The Crown —will play Susan Ryeland, an editor who is given an unfinished manuscript of author Alan Conway’s latest mystery novel, with little idea it will change her life.
