The BBC is preparing to film a new six-part drama, “Hercule,” featuring Edward Bluemel as Hercule Poirot. Multiple reports say production is set to take place mostly in Liverpool. The outlets frame the project as a continuation of the Poirot storytelling, referencing questions about Poirot’s character in connection with the new adaptation. However, both sources provide the same core information about the production plans and do not add further confirmed details about casting beyond Bluemel, specific episode plots, or filming dates. No additional official statements are included in the provided excerpts regarding whether the series will address sexuality-related questions, how the storylines will differ from earlier Poirot portrayals, or any involvement from other creatives. Overall, the consistent information is that filming is soon to start for a six-part BBC series and that Liverpool will serve as the primary filming location, with Bluemel leading the cast as Poirot.
