What is the plot of 'The Boarding School Murders'?
Frankie hasn't had it easy. She's lived in the foster care system for most of her young life and dreams of one day finding her way out of the labyrinthian grasp of those who mean well and those who simply don't. So when she gets a chance to attend a prestigious Swiss boarding school, she naturally jumps at the opportunity. But a blissful Alpine adventure quickly turns fatal after one of Frankie's classmates is found dead...murdered. To Frankie's horror, all fingers point at her. Is there something more sinister to Frankie behind that innocent face? Or is there a killer lurking the halls of the boarding school waiting for their next victim?
'The Boarding School Murders' Main Cast
Hannah Galway
Hannah's career started in a series of shorts in which she established her talent and crafted her path to the big leagues. Hannah has starred in some seriously big TV series (albeit in minor roles) like 'Mrs America', 'Murdoch Mysteries, and the excellent 'Under the Banner of Heaven'. She will be instantly recognizable to younger fans as Emily from the hit Netflix show 'Sex/Life'. You can see her next as the titular lead in the upcoming movie 'Sun'.
Christina Cox
Christina left her mark on the entertainment industry with the role of Angela Ramirez in the excellent 1996 series 'F/X'. She then went on to star in 'The Crow: Stairway to Heaven' before a spate of guest appearances on the biggest shows of the day, such as 'Bones', 'CSI: Miami', 'House M.D.' and Stargate: SG-1'. Her next big role would be as Vicki Nelson on the TV series 'Blood Ties' opposite Dylan Neal. Of course, it would be remiss if we failed to mention her role as Elaine Lewis in the insanely popular 'Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments'. You can see her next in the upcoming movie 'Raptus'.
Ksenia Daniela Kharlamova
An absolute star amongst the younger set and quickly winning over the older age groups, Ksenia looks truly set to captivate audiences across the globe. Having already starred in such critically- and publicly-acclaimed shows like 'Strays', 'Slip' and 'Robyn Hood' (in which she plays Much), Ksenia is certainly a name and face to look out for.
Is 'The Boarding School Murders' worth watching?
A dank though grand old boarding school set in the Swiss Alps, a murderer darkening the hallowed halls, and a group of schoolgirls looking to solve the crime, all make for some serious gothic thrills. This should be a great watch on a cold January night.
