Composer Isobel Waller-Bridge (Fleabag, Emma, Wicked Little Letters, Vita & Virginia, The Phantom of the Open, Munich: The Edge of War, Three Women, Roar) is reteaming with director Sam Yates on the new BBC drama Towards Zero. The show, which also features music by Benji Merrison & Will Slater, is written by Rachel Bennette (Bel Ami, NW) based on Agatha Christie’s classic mystery, directed by Yates (Agatha and the Curse of Ishtar) and stars Anjelica Huston, Matthew Rhys, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Ella Lily Hyland, Clarke Peters, Mimi Keene, Anjana Vasan, Jack Farthing, Grace Doherty, Jackie Clune, Khalil Gharbia and Adam Hugill. The 3-part series follows a British tennis star and his ex-wife who – after a scandalous celebrity divorce – make the unthinkable decision to spend a summer together. James Prichard (Murder Is Easy, The Witness for the Prosecution) is executive producing the project for Agatha Christie Limited, alongside Sheena Bucktowonsing & Damien Timmer (Poldark, Victoria) for Mammoth Screen, Danielle Scott-Haughton (A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder) for the BBC and Jon Farrar, Stephen Nye & Robert Schildhouse (Sister Boniface Mysteries) for BritBox International. Waller-Bridge has previously collaborated with Yates on the feature Magpie. Towards Zero will premiere in the UK this Sunday, March 2 on BBC One and will also be available to stream on the BBCiPlayer.
Waller-Bridge is also expected to return to score the second season of the Starz/Sky series Sweetpea.
