Magpie Murders is a 2022 drama series that adapts the Anthony Horowitz novel of the same name. The series stars Lesley Manville and Tim McMullan as Susan Ryeland and Atticus Pünd, respectively.

The second book in the Susan Ryeland series, Moonflower Murders, was also adapted into a series and was broadcast in 2024. The numerous through-line plot elements between the two series made it into a de facto season two. An adaptation of the third and final entry in the series, Marble Hall Murders, has been confirmed as in production.
