rian Cox is to lead a number of stars in an at-home whodunnit.

The \'Succession\' star will be joined by Claes Bang and Mariella Frostrup in \'The Agoraphobics Detective Society\', a project that will raise money for freelancers in film and television who have been impacted by the coronavirus outbreak.

Also among the actors filming from their homes are Ian Harvie, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, Antonia Campbell-Hughes, Grace Van Patten, Nicole Ansari-Cox, Simon Kunz and Josephine Butler.

Producer Maggie Monteith has enlisted an all-female team of writer-directors for the whodunnit, whose proceeds will go to freelancers on both sides of the Atlantic.

The pilot for the eight-episode show will see a distraught group of patients band together to find a renowned expert psychiatrist who disappears without explanation.

It will be available to view later this month at the Pinpoint Presents site and viewers will be asked to donate what they can afford to view.

Funds will go to the UK\'s Film and TV Charity and the Motion Picture & TV fund in the US.

Maggie admits it was a challenge to organise filming with performers trapped in their homes due to the global health crisis.

She told Deadline: "The logistics of filming where people are sheltering in place was the toughest logistics problem to solve outside the mystery of international time zones.

"A bespoke solution was found for each actor, according to their phones, laptops and computers. A combination of downloadable apps and enhancements, and help delivered in the form of props, wardrobe, hair and makeup products and tech items, made it possible to get usable takes."
