Sky has today revealed the first look trailer and announced that Sky Original family adventure film Flavia, starring Martin Freeman, Jonathan Pryce, Toby Jones and Molly Belle Wright in the title role, will premiere exclusively in the UK on Sky Cinema and streaming service NOW on 4 April.

Set in 1951, this fun and thrilling mystery unfolds at a crumbling manor house on the edge of a picturesque British village, where the de Luce family has lived for 500 years. When a dead body is discovered in the cucumber patch by Flavia de Luce (Belle Wright), an eleven year old chemistry prodigy with a passion for poisons, the quiet estate is thrust into chaos. And Flavia discovers her true calling: sleuth.

Determined to uncover how the dead body got there, Flavia launches into the investigation with fearless curiosity. But when her father, Havilland (Freeman), unexpectedly confesses to the crime, Flavia must deploy every trick in the detective's manual to clear his name. Outwitting the local constabulary is only the beginning. The real murderer is still at large and has their eye on her.

What begins as a quest to save her remote, enigmatic father soon unveils far deeper family mysteries. Flavia's relentless pursuit of the truth exposes long buried secrets about her father, Havilland, and revelations about her missing mother, Harriet, a spy whose legacy Flavia is destined to inherit.

Bharat Nalluri, Director said: I have long been a fan of Alan Bradleys bestselling Flavia de Luce mysteries, so bringing his vivid world and characters to life on screen was a genuine joy. I'm delighted to share this first Flavia mystery on Sky and hope audiences of all ages enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Andrew Orr, Head of Originals for Sky Cinema said: "At Sky, we love supporting standout British filmmaking through our Sky Originals, and Flavia is a great example of that ambition. It's a beautifully crafted family film, led by an exceptional British cast whose performances elevate the story at every turn, and Molly Belle Wright is a star in the making.

Flavia was produced by Robert Mickelson, Paula Mazur, Chris Curling and Mitchell Kaplan through Mystic Point Productions, The Mazur Kaplan Company, and Zephyr Films, and developed and co-financed by Sky. The movie was directed by Bharat Nalluri (Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day, The Man Who Invented Christmas) and adapted for the screen by Susan Coyne (Daisy Jones & The Six, Slings and Arrows) from the internationally bestselling Flavia de Luce series of novels by Alan Bradley.

Flavia will premiere exclusively in the UK on Sky Cinema and streaming service NOW on 4 April.
