Sky has today revealed the first look trailer and announced that Sky Original family adventure film Flavia, starring Martin Freeman, Jonathan Pryce, Toby Jones and Molly Belle Wright in the title role, will premiere exclusively in the UK on Sky Cinema and streaming service NOW on 4 April.
PREMISE
Set in 1951. This fun and thrilling mystery unfolds at a crumbling manor house on the edge of a picturesque British village, where the de Luce family has lived for 500 years. When Flavia de Luce (Belle Wright), an eleven-year-old chemistry prodigy with a passion for poisons, discovers a dead body in the cucumber patch, chaos erupts in the once-quiet estate. And Flavia discovers her true calling: sleuth.
Determined to uncover how the dead body got there, Flavia launches into the investigation with fearless curiosity. But when her father, Havilland (Freeman), unexpectedly confesses to the crime, Flavia must deploy every trick in the detective’s manual to clear his name. Outwitting the local constabulary is only the beginning. The real murderer is still at large…and has their eye on her.
What begins as a quest to save her remote, enigmatic father soon unveils far deeper family mysteries. Flavia’s relentless pursuit of the truth exposes long‑buried secrets about her father, Havilland. Revelations about Flavia’s missing mother, Harriet, a spy, unveil the legacy that Flavia is meant to inherit.

Bharat Nalluri, Director, said:
“I have long been a fan of Alan Bradley’s bestselling Flavia de Luce mysteries, so bringing his vivid world and characters to life on screen was a genuine joy.
