The plot revolves around Emma's character Darby Hart, a Gen Z amateur detective and tech-savvy hacker who, along with eight other guests, is invited by a reclusive billionaire to a retreat at a remote and stunning location.

"When one of the other guests is found dead, Darby must use all of her skills to prove it was murder against a tide of competing interests and before the killer takes another life," the synopsis continues, reports .

A Murder at the End of the World was created, written and directed by Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij, who also served as executive producers.

Alongside Emma and co-creator Brit, the star-studded cast features Clive Owen, Harris Dickinson, Alice Braga, Joan Chen, Raul Esparza, Jermaine Fowler, Ryan J. Haddad and Pegah Ferydoni.

The impressive ensemble is completed by Javed Khan, Louis Cancelmi, Edoardo Ballerini, Britian Seibert, Christopher Gurr, Kellan Tetlow, Daniel Olson and Neal Huff.

The drama currently boasts an impressive 89% critics rating on review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes.
