Now we know a little bit more about the series. FX’s “A Murder at the End of the World” is a murder mystery limited series set at the remote and isolated compound of a reclusive billionaire. The series will premiere in August exclusively on Hulu.
Here’s the official synopsis:
A Murder at the End of the World is a mystery series with a new kind of detective at the helm — a Gen Z amateur sleuth and a tech-savvy hacker named “Darby Hart” (Emma Corrin). Darby and eight other guests are invited by a reclusive billionaire (Clive Owen) to participate in a retreat at a remote and dazzling 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 series has a much more expansive cast, too, including in supporting roles Alice Braga, Joan Chen, Raúl Esparza, Jermaine Fowler, Ryan J. Haddad, Pegah Ferydoni, Javed Khan, Louis Cancelmi, Edoardo Ballerini, Britian Seibert, Christopher Gurr, Kellan Tetlow, Daniel Olson, and Neal Huff.
“A Murder at the End of the World” is created and directed by Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij. Marling and Batmanglij also executive produced alongside Andrea Sperling (“Transparent”), Melanie Marnich, and Nicki Paluga. The seven-episode limited series is produced by FX Productions and was filmed in Iceland, as well as New Jersey and Utah. We cannot wait til August. Hopefully, a trailer arrives soon.
