Overview

• She would replace Moira Walley-Beckett, who left the role earlier this year after initially boarding the series in 2024.
• The series has not been ordered and no casting has been set as development continues at Prime Video.
• Producers include Michael B. Jordan’s Outlier Society, Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy’s Kilter Films, and the Entangled Publishing–affiliated Premediated Productions, with author Rebecca Yarros among executive producers.
