Anjelica Huston Stars in BBC's 'Towards Zero' as Agatha Christie's Legacy Gains New Spotlight

The acclaimed actress reflects on her role, career highlights, and the enduring influence of Christie’s work ahead of the series' March debut.

Anjelica Huston plays Lady Tressilian in the BBC adaptation of Agatha Christie's 'Towards Zero,' premiering March 2, 2025, on BBC One and iPlayer.
Huston describes the role as a 'rite of passage,' praising Christie's nuanced portrayal of women and complex emotional dynamics.
The adaptation, produced by Christie's great-grandson James Prichard, continues a trend of modernizing Christie's works with darker themes and layered storytelling.
Prichard credits recent adaptations, like those by Sarah Phelps, for bringing renewed depth and seriousness to Christie's stories while balancing lighter tones in 'Towards Zero.'
Huston also reflects on her storied career, personal challenges, and the parallels between her life and her roles, including her memories of iconic figures like Marlon Brando and John Steinbeck.
