When Kenneth Branagh’s A Haunting in Venice is coming out on Disney+
The latest instalment of Kenneth Branagh’s murder mystery franchise finally has a streaming date. Disney+ has confirmed that A Haunting in Venice will drop later this year, joining the previous films in the series on the streaming platform.
Set in eerie, post-World War II Venice on All Hallows’ Eve, the threequel is billed as “a terrifying mystery” featuring the return of Agatha Christie’s celebrated sleuth, Hercule Poirot. Now retired and living in self-imposed exile, Poirot reluctantly attends a séance at a decaying, haunted palazzo.
When one of the guests is murdered, the detective is thrust into a sinister world of shadows and secrets. The film sees the return of Kenneth Branagh as the infamous detective, and combines the genre's typical whodunnit elements with horror.
