There's a 'Murder, She Wrote' movie in the works

Universal have announced the project

If one of your favourite 'day off' past-times is watching 'Murder, She Wrote' repeats - but you've exhausted every one - there's good news.

A movie based upon the iconic murder mystery series is in the works, with the writers of the movie 'Dumb Money' attached.

The series ran from 1984 to 1996 and starred the late Angela Lansbury as Jessica Fletcher, a mystery writer who becomes involved in solving murders in her fictional town of Cabot Cave, Maine.

Universal are developing the film, although work cannot commence on it until the writer's strike is resolved.

It will be produced by Amy Pascal, who has credits on Greta Gerwig's 'Little Women' and 'Spider Man: Into the Spider-Verse'.
