The thriller, which is created by House of Cards’ Charlotte Stoudt, follows Andy (Bella Heathcote), a 30-year-old who finds herself caught in a deadly mass shooting at a local diner only to be saved by her surprisingly-skilled mother Laura (Toni Collette).
After Laura violently yet easily incapacitates the shooter, Andy begins to question who her mother really is as their familial relationship is changed forever.
“Desperate for answers, Andy embarks on a dangerous journey across America, drawing her towards the dark, hidden heart of her family,” Netflix teases.
The series is based on Karin Slaughter’s novel Pieces of Her, which was published back in 2018.
Pieces of Her cast
Pieces of Her features a stellar cast, with Oscar-nominee Toni Collette starring as Laura, while Relic’s Bella Heathcote plays her daughter Andy. The pair’s casting was announced back in February 2020.
