Meet the cast of A Murder at the End of the World
Put your detective hat on – it's time to solve a confounding case.
A thoroughly modern take on the classic whodunnit comes to Disney Plus this week, with The Crown alum Emma Corrin leading the large ensemble cast.
A Murder at the End of the World comes from the mind of The OA creator Brit Marling, who co-stars as a once-prominent hacker who becomes reclusive after her personal details are leaked online.
She marries billionaire Andy Ronson (Clive Owen) and goes off the grid, but remains a hero to young Darby Hart (Corrin), a fellow hacker who puts her skills to use as an amateur sleuth.
When Darby is summoned to a very remote retreat intended to get to the heart of some important issues, she is forced to snap into detective mode when a mysterious death leaves everyone shaken.
Here's everything you need to know about the A Murder at the End of the World cast.
