Netflix has announced the star-studded line-up for its upcoming thriller, The Woman in Cabin 10 – and it sounds incredible.
Keira Knightley leads the cast alongside Guy Pearce (The Hurt Locker), Hannah Waddingham (Ted Lasso), Paul Kaye (Vera, Game of Thrones) and Daniel Ings (The Gentlemen).
Based on Ruth Ware's bestselling novel, the film follows a journalist who witnesses a murder while onboard a luxury cruise.
The full synopsis reads: "While on a luxury cruise for a travel assignment, a journalist witnesses a passenger tossed overboard late one night, only to be told that she must have dreamed it, as all passengers are accounted for. Despite not being believed by anyone onboard, she continues to look for answers, putting her own life in danger."

The book description continues: "Woken in the night by screams, Lo rushes to her window to see a body thrown overboard from the next door cabin. But the records show that no-one ever checked into that cabin, and no passengers are missing from the boat.

Netflix has yet to share a release date for the thriller.
