The Venery of Samantha Bird has been ordered to series by Starz, and it will star Katherine Langford (13 Reasons Why). The story will follow a woman who ends up in a big romance with her childhood sweetheart after she returns home to visit her family in New England. However, not all is as it seems. Eight episodes are planned for the psychological thriller series.

Kathryn Busby, president of original programming at Starz, said the following about the series, per The Hollywood Reporter:

“The Venery of Samantha Bird is the perfect complement to our slate of provocative, immersive storytelling that leans into the female gaze. Katherine is an incredible talent who will bring this modern romance of addictive love to life.”

The show was created by Anna Moriarty and Salvatore Stabile will serve as the showrunner for the series. A premiere and additional details for the thriller will be announced later.
