Netflix has teamed with Sarah Polley (director of Away From Her) and Mary Harron (American Psycho) for a new true-crime series, based on a novel by Canadian author Margaret Atwood, about convicted murderer Grace Marks.
In a statement, Polley called Grace Marks, “as captured by Margaret Atwood”, “the most complex, riveting character I have ever read”.
No premiere date has been announced for Alias Grace, a co-production between Netflix, Halfire Entertainment and Canadian broadcaster CBC.
Polley, who last directed the acclaimed documentary Stories We Tell, will write and produce the six-hour miniseries, with Harron on board as director.
