The move follows last year’s deal with BBC1 and Mammoth Screen to produce the seven Christie crime novel adaptations.

Filming of the first, Ordeal by Innocence, adapted by Sarah Phelps, is due to start this summer. It will be Phelps’ third Christie adaptation following And Then There Were None (2015) and The Witness for the Prosecution (2016).

IMG’s head of entertainment sales and partnerships, Gary Marenzi, said: “We are thrilled to represent this important franchise and to bring Christie’s classic mysteries to a new generation.”

IMG has also sold BBC/AMC series The Night Manager and BBC America’s Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency to more than 180 territories in total.
