BritBox, BBC Studios’ streaming service, has announced the cast of Hugh Laurie's adaptation of the Agatha Christie mystery novel, Why Didn't They Ask Evans?. 

The three part series was given the greenlight earlier this year with Laurie directing and producing. 

Will Poulter will star as Bobby Jones and Lucy Boynton will play Lady Frances "Frankie" Derwent. The two play young detectives who discover a man just before he dies who mutters the words of the title. They set out to find his killer.

Also in the cast are Maeve Dermody, Conleth Hill, Daniel Ings, Jonathan Jules, Miles Jupp, Amy Nuttall, Alistair Petrie, Paul Whitehouse, Morwenna Banks, Joshua James and Hugh Laurie as Dr. James Nicholson. 

“I’m deeply honoured to have been given the opportunity to co-lead this project with Lucy and the chance to bring Agatha Christie’s thrilling story to life under Hugh’s direction,” said Poulter.

“I’m so thrilled to be working with Hugh and Will, and on this story from one of my favourite authors. I can’t wait to get started,” said Boynton.

The limited series is executive produced by Emily Powers, Gina Cronk, and Jonathan Karas for BritBox North America, and produced by Claire Jones for Mammoth Screen, alongside executive producers Damien Timmer and Helen Ziegler, and James Prichard for Agatha Christie Limited.

Special guests will be announced at a later date.

Hulu’s new thriller Chance starts off focusing on the struggles of mental illness but evolves into an exploration of the darkest corners of the human mind.

Series star Hugh Laurie (House) plays psychiatrist Eldon Chance, a brilliant but somewhat flawed doctor tasked with evaluating patients with mental disorders and recommending specific forms of treatment through other doctors.

Chance, already dealing with a difficult divorce and his spotty relationship with his teenage daughter, encounters troubled patient Jaclyn Blackstone (Gretchen Mol), an attractive woman with multiple personalities.

He’s drawn into the life and circumstances of Jaclyn, who complains of being abused by her husband Raymond (Paul Adelstein), a rough-and-tumble homicide detective. When she ends up in the hospital after a particularly violent beating, Chance begrudgingly looks to step in to avoid what he believes to be an impending tragedy. At the same time, while trying to sell a high-priced piece of furniture, he makes acquaintances with D (Ethan Suplee), a bulky-but-unassuming antiques restorer with a dark past that feeds into Chance’s impulse to make things right for Jaclyn.

But soon Chance realizes that teaming with D could lead him into a dark underworld of violence and unscrupulousness that he may not be prepared to accept.

The pilot episode for Chance slowly sets the stage for the unraveling of a plot that weaves in elements of corruption, violence, betrayal and psychological power — all of the things that make Chance a good thriller.
