The 'Toward Zero' Cast Mull the Series' Doubleback Twist Finale

As is often the case in murder mysteries, a man behaved very badly and everyone in his proximity paid dearly. In the BBC and BritBox’s miniseries adaptation of Agatha Christie's Towards Zero, the collateral all told is two murders — Lady Tressilian (Anjelica Huston) and her estate barrister, Mr. Treves (Clarke Peters) — two marriages, a potential romance, and the placement of Treves’ now orphaned ward, Sylvia (Grace Doherty). (Plus, Neville’s own neck, but that’s entirely on him.)

In the finale episode of the miniseries, series writer Rachel Bennette (Mill on the Floss) and director Sam Yates (Vanya) retool the events in Christie’s book to stage a thrilling climax on the tennis lawn between well-matched foes, Matthew Rhys’ Inspector Leach and Oliver Jackson-Cohen’s Neville Strange. The two are observed by the rest of the murder suspects, including Neville’s ex wife Audrey (Ella Lily Hyland); his current estranged wife Kay (Mimi Keene) and her lover Louis (Khalil Ben Gharbia); Mary (Anjana Vasan); Thomas (Jack Farthing), and the newly revealed secret Tressilian bastard, Mac (Adam Hugill).
