Tatiana Maslany Set to Star in AMC's INVITATION TO A BONFIRE Series
Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black, She-Hulk) is set to star in an upcoming new series at AMC titled Invitation to a Bonfire. She joins previously announced cast members Freya Mavor, Pilou Asbæk, and Ngozi Anyanwu.
The series comes from Rachel Caris Love, and it’s inspired by the co-dependent marriage of Vladimir and Vera Nabokov. It’s based on the novel written by Adrienne Celt, and the story is set at "an all-girls boarding school in the 1930s.”
The series follows Zoya (Mavor), “a young Russian immigrant and groundskeeper, who is drawn into a lethal love triangle with the school’s newest faculty member Leo (Asbæk) — an enigmatic novelist — and the bewitching Vera (Maslany), who is Leo’s wife, his editor and his everything. “
Dan McDermott, AMC Networks’ president of entertainment and AMC Studios said in a statement: “Tatiana is a singular talent who we’ve wanted to bring back to the AMC Networks family since her iconic and career-defining performance in Orphan Black. We’re thrilled to have her join Invitation to a Bonfire’s talented cast and watch her bring to life the wild flame that is Vera Orlov, both on-screen and behind-the-scenes as an executive producer.”
Season 1 will drop at some point in 2023 and will run for six episodes.
