A now Ed Westwick-less adaptation of Agatha Christie's Ordeal By Innocence is on the way. Here's the first trailer…

Ordeal By Innocence, the Beeb’s new Agatha Christie adaptation, was supposed to be a strong bit of murder mystery miniseries fodder over a slice of chocolate log and Baileys round the fire (or telly) last Christmas, but it never arrived. That’s down to last-minute reshoots being hurriedly put together after one of its stars, Ed Westwick, became the centre of some disturbing allegations. Not wanting to go ahead with the show starring Westwick as the suspicious Mickey Argyll, the actor was summarily replaced by Love, Rosie star Christian Cooke.

Now, a trailer has finally arrived for the three-part event, and you can take a look at it below…

Joining the legendary Bill Nighy in the intriguing cast of the BBC One series are Anna Chancellor (Four Weddings And A Fureral), Morven Christie (Doctor Who), Alice Eve (Star Trek Beyond), Matthew Goode (Stoker), and Ella Purnell (Sweetbitter).

No air date has been set yet, but we’ll let you know when we get it.
