Toni Collette Set to Star in Upcoming Dramatic Thriller Series PIECES OF HER at Netflix
Actress Toni Collette, known for her roles in The Sixth Sense, Little Miss Sunshine, and this past year’s Knives Out and the Netflix series Unbelievable, has a new series heading to Netflix called Pieces of Her. The dramatic thriller series is an adaptation of the 2018 novel by bestselling crime author Karin Slaughter. The series is being directed by Minkie Spiro (Downton Abbey, Fosse/Verdon), alongside an all-female creative team.
Deadline provides the following synopsis and character description:
Pieces of Her is set in a sleepy Georgia town where a random act of violence sets off an unexpected chain of events for 30-year-old Andy Oliver and her mother Laura (Collette). Desperate for answers, Andy embarks on a dangerous journey across America, drawing her towards the dark, hidden heart of her family.
Lovely, empathetic, modest – at first glance, Collette’s Laura Oliver seems to be the perfect Southern woman, devoted to her work as a speech pathologist and to her disaffected daughter, Andy. But when the ghosts of Laura’s past put her life in jeopardy, we discover there is more to Laura than meets the eye.
This sounds like an intriguing story for sure, and Collette is such an excellent actress, I am definitely interested in this series. Does this sound like a show you might get into?
