With the summer 2014 premiere of the final episodes, David Suchet will have completed the unsurpassed feat of portraying Agatha Christies beloved detective Hercule Poirot in all 70 Poirot stories. For the last 25 years, David Suchet has been synonymous with the brilliant Belgian detective and recently received Royal Television Societys prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award for his work on Poirot. RLJ Entertainment (Nasdaq:RLJE) is excited to announce the exclusive premiere of Agatha Christies Poirots final three feature-length mysteries, including Curtain: Poirots Last Case, on Acorn TV, the first streaming service focused on the best of British TV in North America.

Miguel Penella, Chief Executive Officer of RLJ Entertainment, Inc., said, We are thrilled to exclusively offer the final episodes of one of the most iconic series in television history to Acorn TV subscribers. For the last quarter of a century, David Suchet has made an indelible mark on television with his portrayal of Poirot, and these final episodes feature a fitting goodbye to a beloved series. Penella added, Acorn TV continues to provide a welcome alternative for viewers looking for highly entertaining international content that cant be found anywhere else. After a record-setting 2013 with the exclusive premieres of Doc Martin, Miss Fishers Murder Mysteries, and Guy Pearces Jack Irish, Acorn TV is set for another breakout year led by Agatha Christies Poirot.
Since its debut on television in 1989, Agatha Christies famous Belgian detective has put his brilliant intellect and fastidious nature to the test as he solves the most mystifying crimes of the Art Deco era. Brimming with opulent 1930s period details and pitch-perfect performances, these final five lavish adaptations feature the return of several fan favorites, including Hugh Fraser as Capt. Hastings, Philip Jackson as Inspector Japp, and Pauline Moran as Miss Lemon, as well as guest stars Iain Glen (Jack Taylor, Games of Thrones), Helen Baxendale (Friends), and Philip Glenister (Life on Mars). The feature-length mysteries in series 13 include: The Big Four, Dead Mans Folly, Elephants Can Remember, Labours of Hercules, and Curtain.
