Kenneth Branagh’s Next Two Murder Mysteries Hit Prime Video Sooner Than You Think
Prime Video doubles down on Agatha Christie in December 2025, adding two Kenneth Branagh Poirot whodunits — A Haunting in Venice and Death on the Nile — with more fresh picks rolling into the lineup all month.
If you have been waiting for Kenneth Branagh to bring that glorious Poirot mustache to your couch, Prime Video is dropping not one but two of his murder mysteries on December 1, 2025. Yes, both of the more recent Agatha Christie adaptations are finally landing in the same place, which makes catching up a lot easier.
Two Branagh Poirots hit Prime Video on December 1
- Death on the Nile (2022) - Based on Agatha Christie's novel of the same name, this one starts as a luxurious Egyptian river cruise and quickly becomes a locked-boat whodunit after a honeymoon goes sideways. Branagh directs and stars as Hercule Poirot, with a stacked cast that includes Gal Gadot, Armie Hammer, Annette Bening, Russell Brand, Jennifer Saunders, Letitia Wright, Ali Fazal, Dawn French, Sophie Okonedo, Rose Leslie, and Emma Mackey.
- A Haunting in Venice (2023) - Poirot has retired himself to Venice and wants nothing to do with people or puzzles... until a seance inside a decaying palazzo drags him into a seriously eerie mystery. Branagh is back behind and in front of the camera, joined by Jamie Dornan, Tina Fey, Kyle Allen, Camille Cottin, Michelle Yeoh, Jude Hill, Ali Khan, Emma Laird, Kelly Reilly, and Riccardo Scamarcio.
Both films are part of Branagh's ongoing Poirot series that began with Murder on the Orient Express, and both lean into the whole 'cases that only Poirot can untangle' thing. The headline here is simple: they will both stream on Prime Video starting December 1, 2025.
Why this matters (besides the vibes)
These two have had staggered releases and scattered availability, so getting them together on Prime Video is just convenient. If you skipped one, or you want to binge the whole arc from glamorous chaos to supernatural-adjacent chills, December 1 is your day.
Also on Prime Video in December
Beyond the Belgian detective double feature, Prime Video's December lineup also name-checks Mad Max (1980), Bullet Train, and The Phoenician Scheme (2025), among others. Translation: you will not run out of things to watch.
