THE DETECTION CLUB: BBC ANNOUNCES NEW DAYTIME DRAMA ON FAMOUS CRIME WRITERS

The Detection Club, set in 1930s London, the golden age of detective fiction, sees the mysterious society of the three most famous crime writers of our time Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers and G.K. Chesterton, join forces to solve real-life murders.

Honing their craft within the hallowed walls of a secret London location, the three writers come together after receiving an invitation that leads them to their first real murder case.

The series follows the trio as they work together to crack cases, all to the despair of D.I. Greenway a young, rookie, real-life detective. The Detection Club, which will be filmed in 2026, is backed by BBC Studios, who are handling global sales.

The Detection Club was commissioned alongside The Hairdresser Mysteries, with details available here.

Helen Munson, Commissioning Editor for BBC Daytime comments, “The BBC made a commitment to reinvest in new programming from the West Midlands, and these two new dramas are a result of this...

"The West Midlands has so much home-grown talent in the drama sector both on and off screen, commissioning the Detection Club and The Hairdresser Mysteries will offer more jobs to the region and showcase what the area has to offer. I’m excited to be working on these mysterious crime dramas which will be enjoyed by all ages of audiences at any time of the day.”
