A private jet crashes deep in the Mexican jungle, and the wreckage reveals a chilling mystery: nine bodies in a morgue, but only one died in the crash.

The rest? Murdered!

Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue isn’t just a whodunit—it’s a psychological pressure cooker where survival turns savage, secrets rot in the heat, and trust is the deadliest illusion of all.

NEW ATHONY HOROWITZ THRILLER COMING TO BBC

Anthony Horowitz’s latest mystery series, Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue, is a taut, six-part thriller that trades cozy crime tropes for jungle paranoia and psychological warfare.

The premise is irresistible: a private plane crashes in the Mexican jungle, and while all passengers are accounted for in the morgue, only one died in the crash.

The rest?

Murdered, one by one.

The show unfolds in flashbacks, revealing secrets, betrayals, and escalating tension among the survivors. Eric McCormack leads a strong ensemble cast, including David Ajala and Lydia Wilson, each playing characters with layered backstories and hidden motives. The jungle setting—filmed in the Canary Islands—adds a claustrophobic intensity, with nature itself becoming a silent antagonist.

Horowitz channels Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None, but injects a modern edge: no detective, no safe resolutions, just a slow unraveling of trust and sanity. While some viewers may find the pacing uneven and the production occasionally stagey, the central mystery keeps you hooked. The final reveal? A jaw-dropper.

If you’re craving a whodunnit with bite, Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue delivers a stylish, suspenseful ride through the jungle of human nature.
