THE CROWN Star Emma Corrin Set to Star in Limited Mystery Drama RETREAT at FX From the Creators of THE OA

Actress Emma Corrin, who most recently played Princess Diana in the Netflix hit series The Crown, has signed on to star in the limited series Retreat at FX. The mystery drama is being made by The OA creators Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij. THR reports that Corrin will play the lead role of Darby Hart, an amateur detective who attempts to solve a murder at a secluded retreat.

“Retreat follows Darby Hart and 11 other guests who are invited by a reclusive billionaire to a dazzling, remote location. When one of the other guests is found dead, Darby must fight to prove it was murder against a tide of competing interests and before the killer takes another life.”

Marling and Batmanglij, who co-created Netflix’s The OA, are writing the limited series and both will direct episodes. Marling will also play a key on-screen role in the series from FX Productions. The two executive produce along with Andrea Sperling (Transparent).

I was a huge fan of The OA when it was on Netflix, and was super bummed when it ended prematurely after a crazy season 2 finale. So while I’d love for that to come back, I will take a new series from Marling and Batmanglij. Does Retreat sound like a series you’d be interested in?
