Netflix’s newest comedy Murderville releases in February and is a classic whodunit series with a twist.
Based on the BAFTA-winning BBC3 series Murder in Successville, Murderville will consist of six episodes with Krister Johnson (Wet Hot American Summer) as the showrunner. Actor Will Arnett’s Sony-based Electric Ave. acquired the rights to the BBC3 series and then created his version, which Netflix picked up.
He has worked with the streamer in the past with BoJack Horseman, Flaked, and the revival of Arrested Development. Arnett will portray senior homicide detective Terry Seattle in the new series and serve as an executive producer with Marc Forman, Jonathan Stern, Peter Principato, Brian Steinberg.
The new comedy will be released on Netflix on Thursday, Feb. 3, at 12:01 a.m PT and 3:01 a.m ET. If this time doesn’t fit with your schedule, be sure to add this one to your queue, so you don’t miss it.
Along with Arnett, other cast members include Conan O’Brien, Annie Murphy, Ken Jeong, Kumail Nanjiani, Marshawn Lynch, Sharon Stone and more.
Other regular roles include Haneefah Wood as Chief Rhonda Jenkins-Seattle, Lilan Bowden as medical examiner Amber Kang, and Phillip Smithey as Det. Darren “Daz” Phillips.
Celebrities will join Arnett’s Terry Seattle as he tries to solve murder cases on Murderville. The twist, the celebrity must improvise their role as they receive no script for the episode. Arnett and the other regular’s roles are scripted, making for a hilarious series that you will never guess what happens next.
Netflix released the official trailer for Murderville on Monday, Jan. 24. Check out Will Arnett, Annie Murphy, Sharon Stone, Ken Jeong, and many more familiar faces in action in the upcoming comedy series in the video below!
