Edward Bluemel (<em>My Lady Jane, Sex Education<\/em>) will play the title character.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tBenji Walters (Code of Silence) is writing the series, and Jonny Campbell (<em>In the Flesh, Am I Being Unreasonable?<\/em>) is set to direct the first two episodes. Mammoth Screen (part of ITV Studios) and Agatha Christie Limited are producing <em>Hercule<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tBluemel \u2014 who\u2019s coming off another series based on Christie\u2019s work, Netflix\u2019s <em>Seven Dials<\/em> \u2014\u00a0will be the latest actor to take on Poirot. David Suchet played the idiosyncratic Belgian detective for nearly 25 years in the ITV series; Kenneth Branagh, Albert Finney and Peter Ustinov, among others, have also played Poirot. Whether the new series asks Bluemel to adopt the character\u2019s singular appearance \u2014 most notably a waxed mustache and a fastidious fashion sense \u2014\u00a0remain to be seen.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tMy father had the privilege of working with David Suchet for nearly 25 years, and I now have the good fortune of being able to share my great grandmother\u2019s brilliant stories with a new generation of viewers,\u201d said James Prichard, who\u2019s executive producing the series for Agatha Christie Limited. \u201cEdward Bluemel is an extremely talented performer and will make a great addition to the long line of actors that have played this celebrated character, aided and abetted by Benji Walters\u2019 thoughtful scripts. I cannot wait to see Edward on screen as Hercule Poirot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=1406\">Nicholas Duvernay on \u2018Not Suitable For Work\u2019 and How \u2018White Lotus\u2019 Changed Things For Him<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tHercule is described as \u201can intimate study of Hercule the man and an epic portrait of Britain between the wars. The series takes a magnifying glass to three of Christie\u2019s most celebrated stories, while also charting Hercule\u2019s burgeoning friendship with Captain Arthur Hastings and his early encounters with Scotland Yard\u2019s James Japp, and introducing him to one particular nemesis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cI feel very lucky to have been trusted with such an iconic character who has been played by so many great actors,\u201d said Bluemel. \u201cI can\u2019t wait to continue Hercule\u2019s legacy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWalters and Campbell executive produce <em>Hercule<\/em> with Prichard for Agatha Christie Limited, Rebecca Durbin and Damien Timmer for Mammoth Screen, Nick Lambon for the BBC, and Robert Schildhouse, Jon Farrar and Stephen Nye for BritBox.
