Why ‘Seven Dials’ Adaptation Doesn’t Include Bundle’s Romance

[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials.]

If you’ve read Agatha Christie‘s The Seven Dials Mystery, there are still some surprises in the Netflix adaptation, streaming on January 15.

The three-part Seven Dials follows Lady Eileen “Bundle” Brent (Mia McKenna-Bruce), who becomes entangled in a murder mystery after a party at her house. As it all unfolds, she becomes privy to a secret society (Seven Dials) and the attempted theft of a non-corrosive, non-magnetic metal that can withstand high temperatures. It turns out that her friend Jimmy (Ed Bluemel) and the original victim’s sister Lorraine are behind the theft, but they’re acting on behalf of Bundle’s mother, Lady Caterham (Helena Bonham Carter).
