Jamie Lee Curtis’ Movie Remake of Classic TV Show Gets Release Date

Universal Pictures has announced the release date for the upcoming film adaptation of Murder, She Wrote starring Academy Award winner Jamie Lee Curtis. It is based on Angela Lansbury’s iconic crime TV show, which lasted for twelve seasons from 1984 to 1996.

When is the release date for Jamie Lee Curtis’ Murder, She Wrote movie?

Per Variety, the Murder, She Wrote movie has now been scheduled to arrive in theaters on December 22, 2027. Its theatrical release date will pit the remake against Sony Pictures’ upcoming animated movie Buds at the box office. It will also debut in the same month as high-profile movies like Nancy Meyers’ untitled star-studded comedy, The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum, and Avengers: Secret Wars.

The movie remake is directed by Jason Moore, with Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo writing the screenplay. At the moment, Curtis is the only confirmed cast member. It is being produced by Amy Pascal, Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Aditya Sood. It will be a part of Lord Miller’s first-look deal with Universal Pictures. Further details about the plot and characters are still under wraps.

The original crime drama series was created by Peter S. Fischer, Richard Levinson, and William Link. It starred Lansbury as Jessica Fletcher, a retired teacher and best-selling author of mystery novels who becomes an amateur detective. For her leading performance, Lansbury won four Golden Globe awards for Best Actress in a TV series. The show also featured recurring cast members Tom Bosley, William Windom, Ron Masak, Will Nye, and Louis Herthum.
