Gwyneth Paltrow Lands Her First Major TV Role
in Shocking Two-Season Netflix & A24 Deal
---------------------------------------------
Gwyneth Paltrow will soon return in a leading television role
in a two-season deal between Netflix and A24. This will be
Paltrow's first leading role in a television series. She
previously played Georgina Hobart in The Politician and had a
recurring role in Glee.

According to Deadline, Paltrow will star in the thriller
series The Apology. The Marvel actress will play Evelyn
Amspoker in the show. The series was secured under Jinny Howe,
Netflix's head of scripted series for the U.S. and Canada.
Paltrow will also serve as one of the show's executive
producers.

Oscar-winning director Thomas Vinterberg is also attached to
the series. Best known for directing Another Round and The Hunt,
Vinterberg will make his television directing debut with the
series. Netflix acquired the series, which will be produced by
A24 and Cut To, Joe Hipps' production company. The streamer put
out a two-season straight-to-series order over the weekend.


The Apology brings a murdered son's cold case back into focus
According to the official description, The Apology is an
upcoming thriller series that will follow Evelyn and Caleb
Amspoker, whose son was murdered 18 years ago in a cold case
that gripped the nation. When a stranger suddenly appears and
confesses, justice finally seems possible-until they learn the
killer may get off with a reduced sentence. Faced with that
unbearable truth, Evelyn and Caleb decide to take matters into
their own hands.

The show is written by Joe Murtagh, best known for The Woman in
the Wall, Say Nothing, and Calm with Horses. Murtagh will serve
as showrunner and executive producer alongside Hipps, Vinterberg,
and Paltrow. Since the series was recently ordered by Netflix,
the production has not yet begun. Moreover, additional cast
information has not been revealed, but more details can be
expected soon.
