The Crown star's 'gripping' murder mystery is streaming for free this weekend
The Crown star Emma Corrin is almost unrecognisable in a "captivating" new mystery series set to premiere next week.

The seven-part miniseries originally premiered back in November 2023, but will land on ITVX this weekend (Sunday, 25th May) for anyone who missed it.
The seven-part miniseries revolves around Darby Hart, a Gen Z amateur detective and tech-savvy hacker played by Emma. She, along with eight other guests, is invited by a reclusive billionaire to a retreat at a remote and stunning location.
"When one of the other guests is found dead, Darby must use all of her skills to prove it was murder against a tide of competing interests and before the killer takes another life," the synopsis continues.
A Murder at the End of the World was created, written and directed by Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij, who also served as executive producers, reports Surrey Live.
Joining Emma and co-creator Brit in the star-studded cast are Clive Owen, Harris Dickinson, Alice Braga, Joan Chen, Raúl Esparza, Jermaine Fowler, Ryan J. Haddad and Pegah Ferydoni.
The impressive ensemble is completed by Javed Khan, Louis Cancelmi, Edoardo Ballerini, Britian Seibert, Christopher Gurr, Kellan Tetlow, Daniel Olson and Neal Huff.
Sasha Breslau, ITV's Head of Content Acquisitions, said in a statement: "Emma Corrin captivates alongside co-creator Brit Marling and Clive Owen in this compelling mystery drama.
"We're delighted to bring this premium miniseries to audiences at ITVX."
A Murder at the End of the World garnered widespread acclaim following its initial release and was even listed as one of 2023's top TV shows by various publications.
The drama currently boasts an impressive 89% critics rating on review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes.
The Independent said: "In its simpler moments, A Murder at the End of the World is a gripping, pacy thriller. It navigates its way through a century of detective influences, from Conan Doyle to Gillian Flynn, with an agility that leaves it never less than wholly watchable."
Rolling Stone called it "a riveting murder mystery", while The Guardian praised the plot lines as "stylish" and "outstanding".
Viewers also praised the series, with one IMDb user writing: "I love this show. It combines many intriguing elements, crime, thriller, technology and romance, with every twist and turn keeping you guessing and on the edge of your seat."

The news comes after the intense finale of the 12th series, which saw American beauty Toni Laites and Cach Mercer take home the win and 50K cash prize. This year's show was dubbed 'TV gold' by fans who branded the series as 'iconic' with its summer of jaw dropping twists and turns. And it looks like ITV are continuing with that momentum with the return of Love Island: All Stars. One again, fan-favourite Islanders from across the 12 seasons of the show will return to the villa in hopes for a second chance at finding love, while navigating the relationship dilemmas of bombshells, heads turning and what it truly means to be open. The hit show will return to the stunning villa in South Africa, with more Islanders hoping to find love. The series will launch in the new year and run for six whole weeks instead of the five which the past two seasons ran for.

Other returning Islanders include Sophie Piper, Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, Curtis Pritchard, Scott Thomas and Anton Danyluk. The Love Island franchise has proved to be one of ITV's biggest shows for 16-34 audiences. The show has also continued to be streamed on ITVX when off air, being watched over two billion times. The show celebrated its 10th anniversary this year with season 12, and it is expected to be the biggest since season nine (which aired in January 2023). This show's streams on ITVX, currently at 163 million, are up 9 per cent year-on-year, making it the biggest series since the launch of ITVX. The show has also pulled in the biggest digital channel 16-34 audience of the year and continues to dominate digital conversation with a colossal reach of 2.3 billion across all platforms. Love Island is commissioned by Paul Mortimer, Director of Reality Commissioning and Acquisitions and Amanda Stavri, Commissioning Editor, Reality at ITV.

Thursday Murder Club creator says fans will be 'in tears' as film includes 'tough scenes'
The Thursday Murder Club, directed by Chris Columbus, is set to premiere on Netflix on August 28 The Thursday Murder Club lands on Netflix on August 28 and it's based on Richard Osman's 2020 bestseller of the same title. The flick, which takes place in a Kent retirement community, tracks four pensioner detectives as they probe a genuine killing near their home. An all-star lineup features Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Ben Kingsley and Celia Imrie, alongside major guest appearances from David Tennant and Daniel Mays. Director Chris Columbus cautioned viewers they'd be reaching for tissues by the finale, declaring: "I believe Helen, Pierce, Ben and Celia were born to play these roles. "It's a very immersive movie filled with laughs and suspense. And there's a surprising moving quality to the film. You'll find yourself choked up and wiping away tears by the end." Whilst the leading actors fostered a cosy and welcoming atmosphere during production, Columbus confessed certain days proved challenging. He revealed in his chat with Country and Townhouse: "That's not saying each day was a walk in the park. "There were tough scenes, emotional scenes that pushed the limits and boundaries of what one may expect from your standard procedural murder mystery." There was enormous pressure in creating the film as shooting kicked off in June 2024, and only ran for three months before concluding in September. It was anticipated filming would start in September 2023, with Steven Spielberg as producer, but there were setbacks caused by union strikes across the TV industry. In a separate chat with Collider, Columbus described adapting Osman's book as "a dream". He elaborated: "Because of Richard Osman's writing, I was able to cast one of the best acting ensembles I've worked with since Harry Potter. "Making this film was a dream. I truly hope I am fortunate enough to make a sequel. And another sequel. And another sequel." The Thursday Murder Club will be available on Netflix from 28 August, following a limited cinema release on 22 August.
