Toni Collette returning to Netflix for drama Pieces of Her

Deadline

After previously starring in Wanderlust and earning a Golden Globe nomination for Unbelievable, Collette is reuniting with Netflix for Pieces of Her. The dramatic thriller based on the 2018 book by bestselling crime author Karin Slaughter will have an all-female creative team, led by writer and showrunner Charlotte Stoudt. "Pieces of Her is set in a sleepy Georgia town where a random act of violence sets off an unexpected chain of events for 30-year-old Andy Oliver and her mother Laura (Collette). Desperate for answers, Andy embarks on a dangerous journey across America, drawing her towards the dark, hidden heart of her family," per Deadline. "Lovely, empathetic, modest – at first glance, Collette’s Laura Oliver seems to be the perfect Southern woman, devoted to her work as a speech pathologist and to her disaffected daughter, Andy. But when the ghosts of Laura’s past put her life in jeopardy, we discover there is more to Laura than meets the eye."
