Netflix viewers ‘can’t wait’ for new thriller thanks to actor stepping into lead role

By staff4 August 2025No Comments3 Mins Read

The film adaptation is based on author Ruth Ware’s best-selling thriller novel of the same name. It was first published in 2016 and sees a woman board a luxury yacht where she witnesses a murder

PORTLAND, ENGLAND - SEPTEMBER 25: Production and film crew are seen on the super-yacht Savannah in Portland Port as they film the Netflix film adaptation of Ruth Ware’s bestselling novel ‘The Woman in Cabin 10,’ starring Keira Knightley, Guy Pearce and Hannah Waddingham, on September 25, 2024 in Portland, United Kingdom.

Netflix viewers are excited to tune in for a new thriller set to drop this autumn, all thanks to the star power of Keira Knightley. The 40-year-old actor boasts a stellar track record, including her Oscar-nominated turn in 2005’s Pride and Prejudice, her swashbuckling role in the Pirates of the Caribbean series, and her most recent appearance in 2024’s Black Doves.

The celebrated performer takes centre stage in the screen adaptation of The Woman in Cabin 10, drawn from Ruth Ware’s best-selling 2016 novel. It’s scheduled to land on Netflix on October 10, sending excitement soaring among both Knightley devotees and book enthusiasts.

The story follows travel writer Lo Blacklock, who receives an invitation to board an opulent yacht for its maiden journey.

Though the voyage begins in picture-perfect tranquillity, Lo is horrified when she witnesses a fellow passenger being hurled into the ocean during the dead of night.

However, when she raises the alarm, she’s dismissed and told she must have dreamt the entire incident, as every traveller is present and accounted for.

With no one officially reported missing, Lo embarks on a perilous mission to uncover the truth.

Author Ruth Ware explained to Tudum: “Cabin 10, at its heart, is about a woman who experiences something wrong, reports it truthfully, and isn’t taken seriously because of who she is.

“Too many people know what that feels like and I think we want vindication for ourselves as much as Lo.”

The novel was released nearly ten years ago, but the author maintains its significance remains timeless because “the fear of not being believed is perennial, unfortunately”.

When Netflix announced the film adaptation’s launch date on social media, many rushed to the comments to express their excitement, with both the streaming giant and cinema aficionados thrilled to witness Keira Knightley taking on another starring part.

In the caption alongside the announcement, Netflix wrote: “You had me at ‘Keira Knightley’. The Woman In Cabin 10 arrives 10 October”.

One admirer wrote: “I can’t wait” while another declared: “I’m SOLD!”

A third said: “October 10 can’t come quick enough” while a fourth agreed: “Can’t wait! Love this book”.

Someone else commented: “Anything with Keira [bring] it on”.

Another mentioned Keira’s co-star Kaya Scodelario, known for Skins and The Maze Runner series, with equal enthusiasm: “I hear [Kaya Scodelario] is in it, that’s me sold”.

Ware praised the film’s cast as “truly amazing”, explaining: “I’ve said in acknowledgements before that it takes a village to make a book, but what I learned going on set for Cabin 10 is that it takes a whole town to make a film – it’s truly amazing seeing so many people working so hard on something you created.

“It’s also a big leap of faith, of course – like handing your baby over to strangers. But I feel Lo [played by Knightley] and company are in good hands.”
