Subscribers have been left wanting more as a new period crime drama was released on Netflix this week
Warning – this article contains minor spoilers for Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials
A new period murder mystery series on Netflix has already provoked demands for a second season just hours after it was released.
Featuring an all-star cast and based on the works of a legendary author, the three-part series is already a hit with fans as it has shot to the number two position on the streamer’s TV top 10.
Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials stars Mia McKenna-Bruce as popular socialite Lady Eileen ‘Bundle’ Brent, who embarks on a risky investigation when a party thrown at her stately home, Chimneys, ends in tragedy.
Following a harmless prank, one of their guests is discovered dead under mysterious circumstances. Though their demise is written off as a suicide, Bundle is spurred on by grief and becomes determined to unearth the truth.
Though the series has received mixed reviews from critics, many fans were left thrilled by the latest Christie adaptation, which also stars Helena Bonham Carter and Martin Freeman.
Plus, some jaw-dropping twists in the final episode have led some to believe that a second season could be on the way.
One IMDb user said in their 10/10 review: “I see tremendous potential for future missions of the seven dials.
“Hopefully, attention will be paid to the writing and scene development, but I remain hopeful that directors and writers will take this opportunity and make the most of it! Netflix, please invest!!”
Someone else shared on X: “I just finished Seven Dials, and now I wonder if this show will have a season 2 or not? It’s very important for me to at least see a season of Bundle’s action as the new member of Seven Dials.”

Another viewer went even further, demanding: “We need a prequel and sequel of seven dials please seven seasons and seven episodes each.”
Discussion continued on Reddit, where one user predicted: “I enjoyed it. I’m thinking it was a possible pilot for continuation.”
To which someone else agreed: “You know, I got this impression too. They really left that open at the end.”
And another shared their wish for Bundle’s return: “If this series goes well, I’m hoping Netflix might commission more — they’d have to be new stories using those characters, but that could be a lot of fun.

“(Or they could come back and do Secret of Chimneys, as a kind of prequel.)”
While a final X fan simply raved: “Seven Dials is so perfect. Done over three episodes the perfect amount to execute the story; great cast; great acting. British TV at its best.”
So far, Netflix has not confirmed a second season of Bundle’s investigations, but the drama’s surprise ending certainly leaves things open for her return.
Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials is available to stream on Netflix.
