Netflix viewers are eager to find out the number of episodes in the new murder mystery series, Agatha Christie's Seven Dials.

The fresh drama, based on the 1929 novel by the renowned Queen of Crime and penned by Chris Chibnall (Broadchurch, Doctor Who), was released today (Thursday, 15th January) and is anticipated to be a significant success for the streaming platform.

Up-and-coming actress Mia McKenna-Bruce stars as 'it girl' and amateur detective Lady Eileen 'Bundle' Brent, who becomes resolute in her quest to uncover the truth behind a chilling murder.

A party at her and her mother Lady Caterham's (portrayed by Helena Bonham Carter) grand residence, Chimneys, takes a dreadful turn when a seemingly harmless prank results in the terrifying death of a guest.

Bundle collaborates with the mysterious Superintendent Battle (Martin Freeman) to probe into the matter, but how many episodes will it take to unravel the mystery?, reports the Mirror.

Those who have logged onto Netflix today will notice the new murder mystery drama prominently displayed, with three episodes available.

The episodes are titled Bundle of Love, Battle Commences and The Finger Points.

Each episode lasts just under an hour, making the series perfectly bingeable in one go.

However, some subscribers might be curious if more episodes are on the way, given that the three-part series is considerably shorter than other Netflix titles, which typically consist of around eight episodes.

Viewers may be left wondering if a second part of the series is on the horizon, given the streaming giant's recent trend of releasing popular shows like Stranger Things and Bridgerton in staggered instalments. However, this isn't the case for Seven Dials, as the three episodes currently available are all that have been produced so far.

The future of the mystery drama could see more episodes being developed if it gets the green light for a second season, but this will hinge on how well-received the initial series is by audiences.

The first episode, titled Bundle of Love, teases: "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."

Episode two, Battle Commences, promises: "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."

While the synopsis for the third episode, The Finger Points, 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?"

Agatha Christie's Seven Dials is available to stream on Netflix.
