“Game of Thrones” star Essie Davis will take the title role in “Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears,” an Australian-made murder mystery film.
The film is a feature adaptation of “Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries,” which was a hit series of crime novels by Kerry Greenwood before being adapted for TV. Davis took the title role as a glamorous 1920 private detective in the show, which has aired on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation since 2012. It was then licensed to 170 countries, and picked up by Netflix from 2015. The cast also includes series regulars Nathan Page, Miriam Margolyes, and Ashleigh Cummings (“Goldfinch”).
