“A Murder at the End of the World” creator, director and actor Brit Marling traced the whodunnit genre back to “between the First and the Second World War, which makes sense because that was another time that everyone was kind of looking around and being like, okay, who did this? How did we get to the place that we’re in? And it felt very much like that’s where we were and where we still are.” That led her and her creative partner Zal Batmanglij to develop a whodunnit of their own. Watch our exclusive video interview with Marling above.
“Murder” follows Darby Hart (Emma Corrin), a young hacker and amateur detective who is invited to an Icelandic retreat by a mysterious tech billionaire (Clive Owen). When someone turns up dead, it’s up to Darby to figure out who the culprit is. With characters well-versed in modern technology,...

One of the most prominent TV series of the 21st century, the sci-fi drama The Oa, was canceled after its second season. And this is probably the worst decision made by Netflix since the adaptation of Winx Club.
The show, created by Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij, is about a blind girl named Prairie who returns to her hometown after a mysterious seven-year absence. As the case unfolds, it is revealed that she has been held captive by a mad scientist who studies near-death experiences. Prairie gathers a group of people around her and initiates them into the mystery of her life, which she was able to comprehend after her clinical death.
The Oa Still Remains Netflix’s Main Hidden Gem
Unfortunately, The Oa remained a hidden gem of the Netflix collection – few people watched the series, but those who did were extremely enthusiastic. Critics called it the Twin Peaks of a new generation,...

“I thought that I’d never really read anything quite like those scripts. And I’d never really seen anyone quite like Darby on the screen, especially in a murder mystery,” explains Emma Corrin about what struck them about their character in the FX on Hulu limited series “A Murder at the End of the World.” Darby is “a detective who is young, female, an amateur sleuth, very Gen Z. And not at all hardened. Not the typical detective, and I thought that was really original.” Watch our exclusive video interview with Corrin above.
Darby Hart is a tech-savvy hacker and amateur sleuth whose father was a county coroner, meaning she grew up around dead bodies. As a teenager she goes into the family business in a sense, investigating a series of unsolved murders. Years later she and several other individuals of diverse backgrounds are invited to an Icelandic retreat...

What started off as a creative fantasy story unintentionally became hyperrealistic in Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij’s hit limited series A Murder at the End of the World.
The writing duo, who also served as co-creators, directors and EPs of the FX series, sat down at Deadline’s Contenders TV event Sunday to discuss the inspiration behind the mystery.
Marling explained that the idea of the tech retreat came to them back in 2019, after several of their own friends had gone through similar experiences, describing how interesting she found it that “Everyone’s so willing to surrender to the largess of the billionaire, but what are the billionaire’s intentions?”
At the time, artificial intelligence was nowhere near where it is today, with several of their own friends attempting to discourage them from making it so central to the plot saying “AI’s so far away, do Mars, do this,...

With two competing limited series in the Emmys race, the star will be submitting his two acclaimed performances in AMC’s “Monsieur Spade” and Hulu’s “A Murder at the End of the World” in separate acting categories, Variety has learned exclusively.

Variety’s annual Showrunners Dinner presented by A+E Studios on Thursday night gathered writers recognized on the publication’s annual TV Producers Impact List, as well as several of this year’s Emmy nominees. In addition, megaproducer Chuck Lorre was honored with Variety’s first Norman Lear Award.
Held at Merois, on the rooftop of the Pendry West Hollywood, the Variety Showrunners Dinner included a very funny acceptance speech by Lorre, who pointed out some of the similarities — but more humorously, the differences — between the two icons.
“I think everyone here understands the enormity and significance of Norman Lear’s body of work,” Lorre began. “So in accepting this award, I don’t think it’s false modesty to take a moment and focus on the very large differences between his career and my own. For starters, Norman Lear began his career writing for Hollywood legends like Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis.

With hundreds of shows to choose from and thousands of hours of programming, here is our list of the best TV shows of 2023.
Being the entertainment gluttons that we are, we put together a nice video of the Top 10 series of the year, while the full-text list of the 25 best is ranked below.

[This story contains spoilers for The Iron Claw and A Murder at the End of the World.]
Harris Dickinson is having a December to remember.
The rising English actor has concluded 2023 with two standout roles in Sean Durkin’s The Iron Claw and Brit Marling/Zal Batmanglij’s A Murder at the End of the World. In the former, Dickinson plays professional wrestler David Von Erich, the third of Fritz Von Erich’s (Holt McCallany) six sons, and the second out of five to suffer a tragic fate. The role has a lot in common with Dickinson’s other current role as Bill “Fangs” Farrah on A Murder at the End of the World, as both characters’ deaths set their respective stories in motion.
Oddly enough, Dickinson has played the first major domino to fall on two other occasions, starting with 2021’s The King’s Man and then 2022’s Where the Crawdads Sing. Each death is central to their narrative,...

The 2023 FX series A Murder at the End of the World, is an example of a character study that is nicely wrapped in the well-known world of murder mysteries. Recently, the whodunits have gained huge popularity, and Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij cashed in on the sought-after sentiment and created the miniseries, which benefits from its elegant treatment of the milieu it was set in and some nuanced performances. The character of the 24-year-old amateur sleuth named Darby Hart, played earnestly by Emma Corrin, is one of the more interesting characters in a miniseries, which requires the actor to square with two different time periods, sometimes in the same episode. There should be a noticeable change in such a character over the years, and we get to witness it in her performance.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for the A Murder at the End of the World finale.] So who was behind the murders of FX‘s limited series? That’s a complicated answer. As the A Murder at the End of the World finale (now streaming on Hulu) revealed, Zoomer (Kellen Tetlow) — yes, Andy (Clive Owen) and Lee’s (Brit Marling) son — was the one to commit the murders, at the instructions of AI Ray (Edoardo Ballerini). By the end, Darby (Emma Corrin) and Lee have destroyed the server farm, Lee (with Zoomer) has gotten away from Andy, and Darby did a reading from her new book, in which she wrote Bill’s (Harris Dickinson) ending. Below, creators, writers, directors, executive producers, and showrunners Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij unpack the finale. Plus, could there be a Season 2? What part of the killer — who was behind the deaths and who was used to commit them, motive, etc. — did you figure ...

Spoiler Alert: This interview contains spoilers from “Chapter 7: Retreat,” the finale of “A Murder at the End of the World,” now streaming on Hulu.
Like an Agatha Christie novel rebooted for the age of ChatGPT, at the end of “A Murder at the End of the World,” the AI butler did it.
The revelation that Ray (Edoardo Ballerini), the Siri-style digital assistant to billionaire Andy (Clive Owen) has been masterminding the deaths at their snowbound retreat was only one of the startling conclusions of FX’s series, which concluded Dec. 19. (All episodes are now available to stream on Hulu.) Darby Hart (Emma Corrin) came to understand the origin of the killings, carried out by Andy’s young son Zoomer (Kellan Tetlow) as part what he naively believed was a game with his digital companion. The realization was spurred in part by seeing that her late ex Bill (Harris Dickinson...

The finale of the miniseries A Murder at the End of the World came to reveal who the killer was, but if you have been following the series, you pretty much could see that it was going to subvert all your expectations. The seventh episode of the series morphed into a moral lesson about AI after switching from the whodunnit model of storytelling. All the strings were nicely tied up at the end, but in an attempt to give a radically twisted ending to the miniseries, it forced itself to go into a territory that was emotionally too dry. The FX series created by Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij will be remembered for the atmosphere it built and the emotional investment in the interpersonal dynamics of its characters, if not the ending. The show was so meticulous about driving its points home, especially the details of Bill Farrah and Darby Hart’s relationship,...

It seems like a rich guy is in the news every other day, doing something funny or perplexing or downright horrible. Over the course of this year, we all watched Elon Musk acquire one of the world’s most powerful social media sites and then, instead of making the user experience better than it was, mold it into his own image, censoring any language and people he didn’t like. More recently, entrepreneur Sam Bankman-Fried, who was once counted among the richest people in the country in the Forbes 400, gambled on a fraud-ridden crypto exchange whose exposure and bankruptcy may send him to prison for decades. Six years ago, we had a famously wealthy businessman and TV personality as president who nearly drove us toward a nuclear conflict.

“A Murder at the End of the World” revealed the identity of its elusive killer. The FX limited series resolved its central mystery with a heartbreaking reveal that led to fires, answers and a quick getaway.
The start of Episode 6 picked up with Darby (Emma Corrin) convinced that the abusive billionaire Andy (Clive Owen) was the culprit of all the deaths at the retreat that started with the murder of Bill (Harris Dickinson), but she quickly learned that the answer was a lot more complicated and disturbing. Further sleuthing revealed that Zoomer (Kellan Tetlow), Andy and Lee’s (Brit Marling) son — who was revealed to be Bill’s biological son in an earlier episode — was tricked into killing Bill by Ray (Edoardo Ballerini), the artificial intelligence assistant at the retreat.

Six years earlier, Darby and Bill became partners in true crime through a cold case subreddit, before embarking on a road trip out West in pursuit of a serial killer.

In Hear Me Out, Primetimer staffers and contributors espouse their pet theories, hot takes, and even the occasional galaxy-brain idea.
It's all about the glasses. Those horn-rimmed glasses favored by Clive Owen's character in the FX series A Murder at the End of the World had me suspicious from the start. As a fan of Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij's The Oa, I was primed to expect anything, on any plane of existence, out of their new series. The Oa traversed between dimensions, brought the dead back to life, opened portals with modern dance, and gave sight to the blind. I wasn't about to get caught off-guard with what was seemingly just a murder mystery.

If you’ve turned on a television in 2023, there’s a good chance you’ve encountered a male tech billionaire with a penchant for breaking the rules. On “Succession,” there was Lukas Matsson (Alexander Skarsgård), the Swedish maverick who rendered the titular question moot by swallowing Waystar Royco whole. “The Morning Show” featured Paul Marks (Jon Hamm), the aerospace magnate who flirted with both Jennifer Aniston’s Alex Levy and acquiring her employer. FX’s “A Murder at the End of the World” included Andy Ronson (Clive Owen), the mysterious genius whose Icelandic retreat takes a deadly turn.
All these characters are composites, with elements of multiple real-life oligarchs with an outsized influence on world affairs. Matsson has shades of Daniel Ek, Scandinavia’s most famous entrepreneur and the fellow proprietor of a streaming service; Marks using a morning show to promote his privately run rocket launch directly invokes Michael Strahan...

Brit Marling spent the summer of her junior year at Georgetown University interning at Goldman Sachs, an investment firm that this very publication once called “a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity.” She ended that summer with a cushy job offer — only to reject it and, along with her pal Mike Cahill, head to Cuba to film a documentary about boxers and ballerinas caught in the middle of the U.S.-Cuba imbroglio. Marling drank from the capitalist cup, and it left a very bitter taste in her mouth.

The erotic thriller is back, and you'd have to be a prudish killjoy to lament its return.
The subgenre has its roots in the pre-code movies of the 1920s, and '30s, and films noir of the '40s and '50s, but the formula as it exists today was codified in 1980 with Paul Schrader's "American Gigolo" and, most vitally, Brian De Palma's "Dressed to Kill". And thanks to Karina Longworth's deep dive into best and worst of the subgenre via her indispensable podcast "You Must Remember This," younger viewers who weren't there for the '80s and '90s heyday are now revisiting the stylish highs and Skinemax lows of films in which people occasionally take a break from screwing to commit a string of murders (or investigate said murders with alarming aloofness).

The subgenre has its roots in the pre-code movies of the 1920s, and '30s, and films noir of the '40s and '50s, but the formula as it exists today was codified in 1980 with Paul Schrader's "American Gigolo" and, most vitally, Brian De Palma's "Dressed to Kill".

A Murder at the End of the World creators Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij are a resilient duo. Instead of letting disappointment linger, the longtime creative partners quickly rebounded after the cancellation of their beloved genre-bender The Oa and channeled its many profound takeaways into their next story. The Netflix series struck a deep chord in viewers around the world, and seeing firsthand the community and energy that had formed around their work, Marling and Batmanglij further trusted their storytelling instincts until a new name rose to the top of their collective mind: Darby Hart.

If you have not checked out the new FX series A Murder At The End Of The World yet, I highly encourage you to do so. Created by the team that brought the short-lived, fan-favorite Netflix series The Oa, A Murder At The End Of The World is a mystery series that serves as a modernized whodunit in the vein of Agatha Christie. Following an isolated group at a remote location where a murder occurs, the series is a fascinating dual narrative featuring a stellar ensemble cast by Emma Corrin.

Brit Marling is an inspiration. The talented multi-hypenate became an indie darling in 2011 with Another Earth and Sound of My Voice—collaborations with Mike Cahill and Zal Batmanglij respectively. She avoided various vapid roles and unfulfilling career paths and instead went on to star in (and co-create with Batmanglii) the hit Netflix series The Oa, which was bafflingly cancelled after two seasons, despite a rabid and large fan base. The two are back with another series, FX’s A Murder At The End of The World—a cool Zoomer detective whodunit set in a remote super-hotel in Iceland. On this episode, she […]
