The disbelieving Easterbrook initially scoffs at the idea of supernatural forces, but as someone mentions in the trailer, “we’re all rational when the sun is shining.
Soon, Easterbrook finds a link between his deceased wife Delphine (Georgina Campbell) and the supposed witches of Pale Horse. His journey inevitably leads to a place called “The Pale Horse,” a home for three women rumored to be witches in the eerily named village of Much Deeping. When he discovers that other people on the list have died, he begins to worry he’s next to go.Įasterbrook then begins an investigation into how his name got added to the mysterious list. One of the people on that list is Mark Easterbrook, whom Sewell plays.
This develops into a double investigation, one looking for the murderer, and another seeking to understand the list of names – especially after those on it mysteriously keep dying. The basic premise of The Pale Horse centers on a rather unusual murder investigation into the death of a young woman, one complicated by a mysterious list of names discovered in her shoe. From the looks of the trailer, it appears that the story will remain set in the time when the story was originally published, the early 1960s. BAFTA-nominated writer Sarah Phelps adapted Christie’s novel for the small screen and serves as executive producer. Starring Rufus Sewell, known most recently for his role in The Man in the High Castle, this version of Christie’s 1961 novel arrives as a story told in two parts.
