Unbelievable: Toni Collette, Merritt Wever And Kaitlyn Dever To Star In Netflix Limited Series

Deadline is reporting that Toni Collette, Merritt Wever and Kaitlyn Dever are set to star in Netflix’s eight-episode limited series Unbelievable.

 

Unbelievable is based on The Marshall Project and ProPublica Pulitzer Prize-winning December 2015 article “An Unbelievable Story of Rape”, written by T. Christian Miller and Ken Armstrong, and the “This American Life” radio episode about the same case, “Anatomy of Doubt”.  Unbelievable tells the true story of Marie, a teenager who was charged with lying about having been raped, and the two female detectives who followed a twisting path to arrive at the truth.

 

The limited series comes from Erin Brockovich writer Susannah Grant, CBS TV Studios, studio-based producers Sarah Timberman, Carl Beverly and Katie Couric. Grant will serve as showrunner, and co-wrote the limited series with Michael Chabon and Ayelet Waldman. Lisa Cholodenko is set to direct and executive produce the first three episodes.

 

Toni Colletee and Merritt Weber will play the two detectives whose loves become intertwined in their pursuit of a possible serial rapist, while Kaitlyn Dever’s role wasn’t revealed in the report.
