Everyone loves a whodunit, especially a British one. And that’s what you can expect from “Magpie Murders,” a six-part drama series that debuted in the U.K. earlier this year and heads to PBS this week, as part of the “Masterpiece” series. The show centers on a crime novelist who might be borrowing a little too closely from real, unsolved murders until his editor gets suspicious. The series debuts on Sunday, Oct. 16 at 9 p.m. ET, and you can stream it with a Subscription to YouTube TV.

About “Magpie Murders”
“Magpie Murders” is based on a novel and is also about a novelist. The original book was written by Anthony Horowitz and tells the story of editor Susan Ryeland and novelist Alan Conway, who writes popular novels about a detective named Atticus Pünd. Presented with an unfinished manuscript, Susan soon begins to suspect that the novels may not be so fictional after all.
Magpie Murders
An editor gets drawn into a web of intrigue and murder when she receives an unfinished manuscript.
In the six-part series, which played on Britbox in the U.K., Tim McMullan plays Alan and Lesley Manville portrays Susan. Also in the cast are “Game of Thrones” veteran Conleth Hill, Ian Lloyd Anderson, Matthew Beard, Alexandros Logothetis, and Pippa Haywood. Peter Cattaneo (best known for “The Full Monty”) is the director of all six episodes, while Horowitz adapted his own novel.
