Who is in the Woman in Cabin 10 cast?
Keira Knightly leads the charge. Her casting was announced in May 2024 when it was confirmed that she will play a journalist who’s covering the maiden voyage of a luxury cruise ship and is convinced she saw a passenger go overboard. Simon Stone was also announced as the movie’s director at this time.

The Woman in Cabin 10 plot
Based on the book of the same name, The Woman in Cabin 10 is the story of a journalist who sees a passenger go overboard on a cruise ship. None of the other passengers or crew members believe her, though, since everybody on the ship is accounted for. The woman puts her own life in danger to continue investigating what happened.
Will The Woman in Cabin 10 have a sequel?
No plans have been announced for a movie sequel yet, but Ware has written a follow-up to the book! The Woman in Suite 11 is coming to shelves in July 2025, with the same female journalist, Lo, returning as the protagonist.
Ware’s sequel takes place 10 years later. Lo is now living a quiet life, but that all changes when she gets an invitation to the opening of a luxury hotel. Hoping to kickstart her journalism career again and score an interview with the billionaire owner, Marcus, Lo accepts the invitation but has a hard time nailing down the interview. After getting a late-night call to Marcus’ room, she’s met by a woman who claims to be his mistress. The woman tells Lo that her life is in danger, leaving the journalist on a mission to discover the truth.
