Netflix has confirmed that Clive Owen will join Anya Taylor-Joy in its television adaptation of Bella Mackie's bestselling revenge novel How To Kill Your Family.
The news was revealed as part of the streamer's new UK slate unveiled at the Edinburgh TV Festival this week.
Owen joins the eight-episode series alongside Orlando Norman and David Shields, rounding out the cast led by Taylor-Joy as anti-heroine Grace Bernard. The series is produced by Sid Gentle Films, the company behind Killing Eve, with Taylor-Joy also executive producing through her LadyKiller banner.
Whilst Netflix hasn't yet confirmed a release date, we do know that filming is due to kick off later this year in autumn.
Emma Moran – who is best known for her work on fantasy sitcom Extraordinary – serves as series creator and lead writer, with Josephine Bornebusch and Tom Kingsley directing.
The drama is based on Mackie's 2021 debut, a number one Sunday Times bestseller, which follows Grace Bernard, the overlooked daughter of billionaire social climber Simon Artemis. Born of an affair her father claims not to remember, Grace is left with her mother to fend for themselves.
But when her mother dies and Grace is rejected by the people who should love her, she sets about killing off her estranged extended family through morbidly creative means, clawing her way towards both revenge and a hefty inheritance.
On the previous announcement of Taylor-Joy in the lead role, author Mackie had praised her as the "most perfect fit" for Grace.
