BBC One Premieres Nine Bodies in Mexican Jungle Thriller Series

"Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue" is a British thriller series written by Anthony Horowitz that follows the mystery of a plane crash in the Mexican jungle, where nine of the ten passengers survive but then begin dying under suspicious and violent circumstances. The story unfolds through flashbacks as the survivors struggle with harsh jungle conditions, dwindling supplies, and mistrust, while police investigate the strange case of ten passports but only nine bodies recovered. The show features a strong ensemble cast including Eric McCormack, Siobhan McSweeney, and David Ajala, with McCormack playing former physician Kevin Anderson. Although set in Mexico, the production recreated the dense jungle environment on Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands, utilizing a mix of location work and purpose-built sets. Critics noted the thriller's structural intrigue and suspenseful pacing, though some found the jungle setting unconvincing due to its artificial appearance. The series is available for streaming on BBC iPlayer and airs on BBC One, with a six-episode run promising a "jaw-dropping reveal" in its finale.
