Netflix to stream The Woman in Cabin 10 on October 10, 2025

Netflix will release The Woman in Cabin 10 on October 10, 2025, a film adaptation of Ruth Ware’s bestselling psychological thriller that stars Keira Knightley as a travel journalist who witnesses a passenger thrown from a luxury yacht but finds no one believes her. Directed by Simon Stone, the movie condenses Ware’s confined, suspense-driven novel into a 95-minute feature that places perception and atmosphere at the center of its drama.

In the film, Knightley plays Laura Lo Blacklock, an investigative reporter on what should be a routine assignment. Late one night she hears a struggle and sees signs that someone in the neighboring cabin has been tossed overboard. A headcount on board, however, shows every passenger present, and Lo faces skepticism from crew and fellow guests as she pursues answers and increasingly perilous leads. The ensemble cast includes Guy Pearce, Hannah Waddingham, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, David Ajala, Kaya Scodelario, David Morrissey, Art Malik and others, with writers credited as Anna Waterhouse, Joe Shrapnel, Simon Stone and Ruth Ware, and producers including Debra Hayward, Cindy Holland and Elisabeth Murdoch.
