There’s just over a week to go until Netflix’s upcoming drama Pieces of Her arrives on the streamer, with Toni Collette starring as a mother whose dark past starts to resurface after she saves her daughter from a diner shooting.
Based on Karin Slaughter’s novel of the same name, the eight-parter features an impressive cast with Bella Heathcote, Jessica Barden, Joe Dempsie and Omari Hardwick taking on roles in this mysterious thriller – but what it is about and when will it be released?
Here’s everything we know about Pieces of Her, from the full cast to the latest trailers.
Pieces of Her release date
Pieces of Her arrives on Netflix on Friday 4th March.
The streamer announced the upcoming series, which is based on Karin Slaughter’s 2018 book of the same name, back in 2019, ordering an eight-episode first season.
What is Pieces of Her about?
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.
