Cumberbatch stars as “an aristocratic and outrageously funny playboy who struggles to overcome the damage inflicted by a horribly abusive father and the mother who tacitly condoned the behavior,” while Williams portrays Marianne, an acquaintance that Patrick (Cumberbatch) encounters during his playboy years in New York.
Allison Williams has joined the Benedict Cumberbatch miniseries cast in a role that’s practically Marnie rearranged.
