“A Murder at the End of the World” creator, director and actor Brit Marling traced the whodunnit genre back to “between the First and the Second World War, which makes sense because that was another time that everyone was kind of looking around and being like, okay, who did this? How did we get to the place that we’re in? And it felt very much like that’s where we were and where we still are.” That led her and her creative partner Zal Batmanglij to develop a whodunnit of their own. Watch our exclusive video interview with Marling above.
“Murder” follows Darby Hart (Emma Corrin), a young hacker and amateur detective who is invited to an Icelandic retreat by a mysterious tech billionaire (Clive Owen). When someone turns up dead, it’s up to Darby to figure out who the culprit is. With characters well-versed in modern technology,...

FX’s A Murder at the End of the World limited series finale has arrived, and with it the shocking revelation of the killer’s identity. Episode seven, “Retreat,” begins with all the guests gathered 164’ underground in Andy’s suite. Andy (Clive Owen) talks about why Ray – his AI assistant – chose that depth, revealing it was because Andy asked him to protect his family from anything that could happen on the surface of the earth.
As Andy continues to discuss Ray, he brings the conversation back around to how someone is trying to tarnish his reputation. Andy declares that he’s going to keep everyone there until he figures out who’s setting him up.
Lu Mei (Joan Chen) didn’t betray him and is still confused about why he invited her.

The FX series A Murder at the End of the World reached its conclusion on Dec. 19, finally revealing who’s been responsible for the series of killings at tech billionaire Andy Ronson’s (Clive Owen) remote Icelandic retreat.
Warning: Spoilers ahead.
Hacker-sleuth Darby Hart (Emma Corrin) discovers that it wasn’t Andy or his captive wife Lee (Brit Marling) but rather his AI assistant-creation Ray (Edoardo Ballerini) who’s sowed chaos among his guests, ordering Lee and Bill’s biological son, Zoomer (Kellan Tetlow), to kill Bill and Rohan (Javed Khan...

Lee (Brit Marling) and David (Raul Esparza) rescue her, but David leaves the two women alone.
Back in Darby’s room, Lee confirms she was the one who sent Darby the Morse code message to meet. Darby really wants to trust Lee, but she brings up the fake passport she found and feels she isn’t being honest with her. Lee admits everyone she’s been honest with is gone, except for David. She insists she just wants to keep Darby safe.
Lee knows Andy can’t be trusted.

Brit Marling spent the summer of her junior year at Georgetown University interning at Goldman Sachs, an investment firm that this very publication once called “a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity.” She ended that summer with a cushy job offer — only to reject it and, along with her pal Mike Cahill, head to Cuba to film a documentary about boxers and ballerinas caught in the middle of the U.S.-Cuba imbroglio. Marling drank from the capitalist cup, and it left a very bitter taste in her mouth.

I am not sure that I liked what I saw in the first two episodes of the new FX miniseries A Murder at the End of the World. At first, it functions as a whodunnit, with the intention of turning the concept of films like Knives Out on its head. With its slow-burn pacing and a rather eerie atmosphere, it starts to borrow from films like The Others, but not the supernatural element. The enticing part of the series may seem to be the murder mystery aspect, but it’s the story of a girl who lives rather an unusual life in the series. Darby, a self-proclaimed cold case investigator, writes a book about her exploits and gets invited to a tech billionaire’s secret retreat out in the glacial wilderness. She wasn’t the only dignitary there. There was also Fangs, aka Bill, who ends up dead at the retreat,...

Hulu’s new mystery drama A Murder at the End of the World was originally slated for an Aug. 29 debut, but it feels right that a moody, wintry show like this one is instead premiering when the sun sets at 5 pm.
The two-episode series premiere, which dropped on Hulu Tuesday, introduces us to Darby Hart (The Crown‘s Emma Corrin), an experienced hacker and amateur sleuth who grew up around crime scenes and dead bodies, given her dad’s career as a medical examiner in Iowa. When we first meet Darby, she’s reading an excerpt from her new book The Silver Doe,...

Brit Marling is used to juggling multiple roles on the set of her projects, but “A Murder at the End of the World” marked the first time she sat on the director’s chair.
The actress, writer and now director helmed three out of the seven episodes in the FX limited series, which she also cocreated with her longtime filmmaking collaborator Zal Batmanglij. The job had been on her radar since working on the Netflix cult classic “The Oa,” but Marling said taking on a smaller acting role on “Murder” finally gave her the time to take it on.
“Our worlds are often very ambitious, a little bit fantasy or a little bit sci-fi … everything has a newness to it that requires a lot of figuring out at every department level,” Marling told TheWrap. “[I knew] that if I wanted to really direct in the way I want to do it, I...

Readying to share an excerpt from her first book, an author stands at the podium and warns the room she’s going to start with the ending. “I was told you’re not meant to do that at these readings,” she says, “but I’m going to do it anyway.” Ultimately, Darby Hart (Emma Corrin) omits a few key details of her favored passage — she’s there to sell books, after all, and has to hook an audience who initially showed up to hear from another writer — but the choice speaks volumes about who she is and what her true crime story is designed to do. It’s not about whoever’s waiting at the end of the investigation; it’s not about studying a killer, learning from his twisted psyche, or even catching him. Instead, Darby’s account invites readers to reconsider what’s right in front of them,...

Review: In recent memory, three types of whodunits have made wide release. There is the traditional, Agatha Christie-style whodunit (Kenneth Branagh’s Murder on the Orient Express and its sequels), the modernized whodunit (Rian Johnson’s Knives Out), and the neo-noir whodunit (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo).
