Releasing August 29 on Netflix, The Woman in Cabin 10 is a psychological thriller set adrift in paranoia, luxury, and danger. Based on Ruth Ware’s bestselling novel, this chilling mystery takes place aboard a high-end cruise liner — where wealth hides secrets, and silence is deadlier than storms.

At the center of the story is Lo Blacklock, a travel journalist desperate to revive her fractured career after a traumatic break-in leaves her shaken, medicated, and barely holding herself together. The assignment — covering the inaugural voyage of a private luxury cruise ship, The Aurora — seems like the perfect chance to reset.

But on the second night, everything changes.

She Heard the Splash. She Saw the Blood. So Why Does Everyone Say It Never Happened?

Late one evening, Lo is startled by a scream and the unmistakable sound of a body hitting water. She races to the balcony — but all she finds is the moonlit sea. The woman she met earlier in Cabin 10, quiet, pale, and frightened, is gone.

And now, the ship’s crew insists:
Cabin 10 is empty. It’s always been empty.

The woman never existed.
There’s no record of her on the passenger list.
No one remembers seeing her.
And Lo — fragile, anxious, and increasingly paranoid — becomes the perfect target for doubt.

“You’re exhausted. You’ve been drinking. Maybe it was just a nightmare…”

Trapped at Sea. Surrounded by Lies. And Someone Wants Her Silent.

As Lo digs deeper, trying to piece together what happened, she uncovers fragments of something far more sinister. Whispers of blackmail. Hidden identities. A guest who might not be who they say they are — or who might not be alive at all.

Meanwhile, her phone disappears. Her cabin is searched. Someone leaves a threatening message scrawled across her bathroom mirror. And no matter how loud she screams, no one wants to listen.

Because aboard The Aurora, the waves aren’t the only thing hiding bodies.

A Countdown to the Final Port

With nowhere to run and no way to contact the outside world, Lo is left with one option:
Find the killer — or become the next victim.

As the days pass and the ship nears its final destination, tension ratchets into dread. And when another passenger mysteriously vanishes, Lo realizes the truth she’s chasing may not only be unprovable — it may be fatal.

Final Words Before the Premiere

The Woman in Cabin 10 is more than a murder mystery. It’s a study in trauma, female vulnerability, and what happens when the world refuses to believe a woman who saw something horrifying.

It’s Agatha Christie meets Hitchcock, with a modern psychological twist.

And once the ship docks…
you’ll never see the ocean the same way again.
