All Aboard the Mystery Yacht: Keira Knightley Stars in Netflix's "The Woman In Cabin 10"
- Aug 27, 2025
Come one, come all! Netflix had just reeled out the first glimpse of its upcoming movie, "The Woman In Cabin 10", a mind-bending thriller, featuring none other than Hollywood's darling star, Keira Knightley. Living under the guidance of ace director, Simon Stone, the movie is gearing up to make the audience sit on the edge of their seats.
Drawing inspiration from Ruth Ware's acclaimed novel, the movie casts a spotlight on journalist Lo, played by the charming Keira Knightley. Embarking on a travel assignment, Lo finds herself on a luxurious yacht amidst opulent travelers whisking her into a whirlpool of intricate conspiracies and shrouded secrets. All hell breaks loose one dark night when Lo spots a passenger tossed overboard. The passengers, aloof and affluent, discount her claims leaving our fearless reporter to untangle the mystery herself.
The trailer tantalizes with class confrontation, gender roles and emotional manipulation playing vital roles. A brooding Ruth Ware distilled the film's essence, “At its heart, the film 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.”

Director Simon Stone, offering some fresh insight, said “Lead female characters have had a bit of a bad rap. It’s always the woman whose sanity we’re doubting. I wanted Lo to feel more like the lead characters from ‘70s paranoid thrillers … You never question them. You just believe they’re right. That’s what I wanted for Keira.”
Along with Knightley, a star-studded line-up awaits, holding the likes of Guy Pearce, Hannah Waddingham, David Ajala, Art Malik, Kaya Scodelario, David Morrissey, Daniel Ings and Gugu Mbatha-Raw. The gripping screenplay is written by Joe Shrapnel, Anna Waterhouse, and Simon Stone, inspired by an adaptation by Emma Frost. Keeping the reels rolling are producers Debra Hayward and Ilda Diffley, with Cindy Holland and Richard Hewitt executing the production.
Gear up for heart-racing suspense and dramatic revelation! "The Woman In Cabin 10" will be docking on Netflix's streaming shore from Oct. 10th. Get set for Netflix and chills!
