When Netflix first unveiled a teaser for Agatha Christie's Seven Dials I was struck by how perfect it would have been as a Christmas launch. These murder mysteries are basically a tradition on UK TV, and it probably would have been quite a punchy move to offer it at the same time as the BBC and others were trying to get everyone's eyes over the holidays.
It's probably fair to assume that Netflix had its hands full with the climactic and long-awaited finale of Stranger Things around that time, though, and its scheduling certainly underlined that. So, while we're all back at work and kickoff events like CES 2026 mean that the year is well underway, now is the time for Seven Dials, which is streaming as of today.
