Death and Other Details trailer: A misunderstanding turns pivotal in this quirky murder mystery

By the looks of it, Death and Other Details may as well go on to be a standout show of the year. Its quirky and well-knit trailer offers a glimpse at the great world-building and the core of the story that makes Imogene Scott (Violett Beane) a possible suspect. It also features Rufus Cotesworth (Mandy Patinkin), a familiar detective.

The synopsis for the show, as released by Hulu, reads:

"Set amidst the glamor of the global elite, ‘Death and Other Details’ centers on the brilliant and restless Imogene Scott (Violett Beane), who finds herself in the wrong place/wrong time (okay, it was kinda her fault) and becomes the prime suspect in a locked room murder mystery.

"The setting? A lavishly restored Mediterranean ocean liner. Suspects? Every pampered guest and every exhausted crew member. The problem? To prove her innocence, she must partner with a man she despises—Rufus Cotesworth (Mandy Patinkin), the world’s greatest detective."

Mike Weiss and Heidi Cole McAdams are the writers of the show and also serve as showrunners and executive producers. The renowned Marc Webb directed the pilot, while David Petrarca serves as an executive producer.
