Netflix fans want to know how many episodes are in the new murder mystery series, Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials.
The new drama based on the 1929 novel by the Queen of Crime and written by Chris Chibnall (Broadchurch, Doctor Who) has just been released today (Thursday, 15th January) and is expected to become a major hit for the streamer.
Rising star Mia McKenna-Bruce stars in the series as ‘it girl’ and amateur sleuth Lady Eileen ‘Bundle’ Brent, who becomes determined to uncover the truth behind a chilling murder.
When a party is held at her and her mother Lady Caterham’s (played by Helena Bonham Carter) stately home, Chimneys, the night goes horribly wrong when a harmless prank results in the horrific death of a guest.
Bundle teams with the enigmatic Superintendent Battle (Martin Freeman) to investigate, but how many episodes does the mystery unravel for?
How many episodes are in Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials?
Fans who have logged onto Netflix today will spot the new murder mystery drama front and centre, with three episodes available.
They are titled Bundle of Love, Battle Commences and The Finger Points.
Each episode runs for just under an hour, making the series an ideal length to binge all in one sitting.
However, some subscribers may be wondering if more episodes are coming, as the three-part series is considerably shorter than other Netflix titles, which often contain around eight episodes.
Fans might question if a second part of the series is yet to come, as the streamer has recently adopted a staggered release model for big hits such as Stranger Things and Bridgerton.
This is not the case, though, as the three episodes currently available are the only instalments of Seven Dials produced thus far.

This lets members watch live and on-demand TV content without a satellite dish or aerial and includes hit shows like Bridgerton.
More episodes could be in the works if the mystery drama is renewed for a second season, though this will depend on how popular the first outing proves to be amongst viewers.
A synopsis for the first episode, Bundle of Love, reads: “A lavish party at the Caterham estate results in sore heads the next day - and one guest not waking up at all. Grief pushes Bundle to search for answers.”
The synopsis for episode two, Battle Commences, reads: “Bundle’s desperate search for the killer takes her from London’s seedy underbelly to a country house gathering which could change the course of history.”
And episode three, The Finger Points’ synopsis reads: “After the police catch an intruder and Battle finds two bullets, Bundle makes a shocking discovery. Can she finally uncover the mastermind behind it all?”
