Netflix drops the trailer for Keira Knightley’s ‘The Woman in Cabin 10’
Netflix has finally dropped the trailer for The Woman in Cabin 10, and it is giving pure edge-of-your-seat drama. But this time, it is all dressed up in a holiday cruise vibe.
Keira Knightley is front and centre as Lo Blacklock, a journalist sent to cover a fancy yacht trip. At first, it looks like she’s living the dream, but there are secrets.
You see, when we imagine a cruise, we imagine a luxury cruise; the first thing that comes to mind is ocean views, followed by lots of champagne. It is exactly the kind of cruise you only see on Instagram. Blacklock is on a similar cruise to “spy” on people. But then things take a turn, and she sees something no one else will admit happened: a woman tossed overboard in the middle of the night.
From that moment, the whole vibe flips. She insists she saw it, but the crew swears every passenger is still on board. The trailer leans hard into that feeling of being dismissed, of everyone looking at you like you have made it all up. It is claustrophobic and gorgeous at the same time. Imagine Murder Mystery but a bit serious. The sleek interiors and open sea look stunning, but they also trap her in a space where she can’t get away.
The story comes from Ruth Ware’s bestselling novel of the same name, and if you know her books, you know she is the queen of making glamorous settings feel terrifying. She said herself that the theme of not being believed is what gives The Woman in Cabin 10 so much punch. It is not just about solving a crime… it is about proving you are not losing your grip when everyone else is sure you are.
Director Simon Stone, the one behind The Dig, brings that eerie mood to life. The amazing cast of the film, alongside Knightley, includes Guy Pearce, Hannah Waddingham, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Kaya Scodelario, David Morrissey, and David Ajala. Basically, the kind of line-up where everyone looks like they could be innocent or secretly plotting. The trailer makes it impossible to tell who is on her side and who wants her silenced.
It is giving Hitchcock energy but modern, with a little bit of that glossy Netflix shine. The yacht is picture-perfect, but you can feel the menace in every hallway. Knightley plays it with this mix of determination and panic that makes you want to scream at the screen. By the end of the trailer, you are already ready to pick apart every tiny glance and whisper.
The Woman in Cabin 10 lands on Netflix on October 10th, and honestly, it looks like the perfect fall watch. Dark nights, wine in hand, a thriller that makes you second-guess everyone on screen. It is exactly the kind of film that keeps you up late finishing just one more scene.
