Introduction
The wait is finally over. According to Netflix’s official listings and its TUDUM blog, the highly anticipated film adaptation of Ruth Ware’s sensational novel, The Woman in Cabin 10, is now streaming on Netflix in key territories as of today, Friday, October 10, 2025. From director Simon Stone and screenwriters Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse, the taut 95-minute thriller, starring the brilliant Keira Knightley, is poised to be the mystery everyone will be obsessed with this weekend.
If you’re ready for a suspenseful, claustrophobic mystery where the only witness is the one nobody believes, then your weekend plans are officially set.
From Bestseller to Major Motion Picture
Ruth Ware’s novel took the world by storm, earning comparisons to Agatha Christie for its classic, tightly-plotted mystery. The film adaptation, which, as per industry reports, wrapped filming in late 2024, captures the same nail-biting tension that made the book a global phenomenon.
The Unsettling Premise
The story follows Lo Blacklock (Keira Knightley), a journalist on assignment to cover the maiden voyage of a small, ultra-luxury cruise ship in the North Sea. Her trip takes a terrifying turn when, in the middle of the night, she is certain she hears the sound of a body being thrown overboard from the cabin next to her—Cabin 10. But when she reports it, all the passengers are accounted for. The crew insists Cabin 10 was empty all along.
A Star-Studded Ensemble Cast
Keira Knightley leads a powerhouse cast as the determined but fragile Lo Blacklock. Known for her ability to portray complex, emotionally layered characters, Knightley masterfully captures Lo’s growing sense of desperation and claustrophobia.
Joining her is a stellar supporting cast that includes:
- Guy Pearce
- Hannah Waddingham
- Gugu Mbatha-Raw
- David Ajala
- Kaya Scodelario
This incredible ensemble brings the ship’s manifest of secretive, high-profile passengers to life.
A Claustrophobic Nightmare at Sea
The setting is a character in itself. The luxury cruise ship, with its elegant veneer and smiling staff, becomes a gilded cage. Lo is trapped on a vessel with a limited number of suspects, completely isolated from the outside world, and with nowhere to run. This classic “locked-room mystery” setup creates an almost unbearable sense of tension that will keep you guessing until the very end.
The Perfect Weekend Binge is Here
If you’re a fan of the book, this is the faithful, atmospheric adaptation you’ve been waiting for. If you’re new to the story, you’re in for a thrilling ride full of twists, turns, and shocking revelations. The Woman in Cabin 10 is the perfect movie to curl up with on a dark night.
