The new mystery drama addition to Hulu, Death and Other Details, has become one of the best to watch of 2024, eventually capturing the attention of the audience with its double-header debut. The series had its worldwide premiere on January 16, 2024. The show was initially titled Career Opportunities in Murder and Mayhem, but for some reason, it was eventually changed.
Created by Heidi Cole McAdams and Mike Weiss, Death and Other Details was initially presumed by the audience to be based on a book. However, the creators eventually cleared the air by revealing that they are huge fans of Agatha Christie's works. So, they decided to merge the essence of the Queen of Crime into their “contemporary world.”
The show follows Imogene Scott (Violette Beane) and Rufus Coteworth (Mandy Patinkin), who find themselves amidst a locked-room murder that takes place on a luxury cruise liner in between the Mediterranean Sea. Follow along with the article to learn more.
