British thriller television series
Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue is a British thriller television series created and written by Anthony Horowitz. The series premiered on 2 March 2025 on MGM+.[2]
Following a plane crash in the Mexican jungle, nine bodies are recovered and brought to a local morgue. The series begins with these corpses already laid out, and the mystery centers on how each person ended up dead. Through flashbacks and shifting perspectives, the story reconstructs the events leading up to the crash and the subsequent deaths, revealing hidden connections, motives, and secrets among the passengers. As the narrative unfolds, viewers are drawn into a tense whodunit that explores not just who the killer is, but why the victims were targeted.
