Agatha Christie Limited has reported its highest-ever revenue, reaching nearly £33 million in 2025. This figure represents a substantial 24% increase compared to the previous year and surpasses the company's previous record set in 2018.
The company achieved a pre-tax profit of £20 million, a notable rise from £13.7 million in 2024. This success is attributed to growth in publishing, television distribution, and licensing revenues.
Key drivers include the Netflix series "Agatha Christie's Seven Dials and Tommy & Tuppence" and an upcoming BritBox adaptation. Evergreen properties, such as ITV's "Poirot" and "Marple" adaptations, also demonstrated strong sales performances, particularly in the United States.
New projects are in development with 20th Century, the studio behind Kenneth Branagh's "Hercule Poirot" series. Additionally, the BBC is planning a new Poirot adaptation starring Edward Bluemel, with BritBox co-producing and a three-season commitment reportedly in place.
