David Suchet is expanding his Agatha Christieverse with a travelog produced by Pernel Media, in which he heads down the River Nile.

In Mysteries on the Nile, Suchet, who has long been fascinated by ancient civilizations, will explore the enduring enigmas of Ancient Egypt as he travels down one of the most famous rivers in the world. Produced by Pernel Media and helmed by British director Gwyn Williams, the series draws on the latest archaeological discoveries and cutting-edge research.
