Thomas Vinterberg, director of Drunk and The Hunt, will direct and executive produce this series created by Joe Murtagh, who will also serve as showrunner.
The story begins 18 years after the murder of Evelyn and Caleb Amspoker's son, a case that was never solved and that shook America. When a stranger appears and confesses to being the perpetrator of the crime, the parents finally glimpse the possibility of obtaining justice. But their hope collapses when they learn that the murderer could benefit from a reduced sentence. Faced with this unbearable prospect, Evelyn and Caleb decide to take justice into their own hands.
The Apology, revenge series
Enough to lay the groundwork for a solid thriller with the feel of a revenge movie, in which Gwyneth Paltrow could well surprise us by exploring a darker register, against type for her usual roles (we recently saw her in Marty Supreme).
Already two seasons ordered
The actress and Joe Hipps will also serve as executive producers. Netflix had given the project the green light before several executives in its television division departed at the end of last week. For its part, A24 has also just launched Crystal Lake, its new series that began airing last week on Peacock.
