After decades as a bestselling crime novelist, Jessica Fletcher (Meryl Streep) has retired to the quiet seaside town of Cabot Cove — until a series of murders eerily mirror her old books. The police are baffled, but Jessica knows fiction too well to believe in coincidence. When a young investigative journalist, Clara Evans (Saoirse Ronan), arrives to interview her, the two form an unlikely partnership — one that soon uncovers a killer obsessed with turning Jessica’s stories into real life.
As bodies begin to fall and secrets surface, Jessica must confront her past, her fame, and the dangerous truth that her words have inspired something monstrous. With every clue leading closer to home, she realizes the killer’s final chapter might be written for her.
Stylish, suspenseful, and laced with dark wit, MURDER, SHE WROTE (2026) reinvents the iconic mystery for a new generation — where the line between author and accomplice disappears in blood-red ink.
