The film is about a series of murders onboard a Nile cruise boat and the trailer keeps the sense of mystery intact and how.

Death On The Nile is slated to release on October 23 this year. This will be one of the first major international pictures to see a global release amid the coronavirus pandemic. This will be Kenneth Branagh’s second outing as Hercule Poirot after 2017’s Murder On The Orient Express, which was also an adaptation of Agatha Christie’s classic novel of the same name.
This is not the first time that Ali Fazal is a part of an international project. He starred in the 2017 biographical comedy-drama Victoria And Abdul, in which he shared screen space with Judi Dench. Ali Fazal also had a cameo appearance in Furious 7.
