English actor Sophie Turner has become a part of the series ‘The Staircase’. The series will stream on HBO Max. The show is based on the true story of novelist Michael Peterson and the suspicious death of his wife, Kathleen Peterson.
The ‘Game Of Thrones’ actor will play the role of Peterson’s adopted daughter, Margaret Ratliff. A French documentary titled ‘The Staircase’ in 2004 also chronicled the Peterson case.
The project includes Colin Firth, Toni Collette, Juliette Binoche, Rosemarie DeWitt and Parker Posey. The writers, executive producers and showrunners of the series are Antonio Campos and Maggie Cohn.
Antonio Campos said: “This has been a project I have been working on in one way or another since 2008. It’s been a long and winding road, but well worth the wait to be able to find partners like HBO Max, Annapurna, co-showrunner Maggie Cohn and the incredible Colin Firth to dramatize such a complex true-life story.”
Sophie Turner also played the role of Sansa Stark on ‘Game of Thrones’ in 2019. She appeared in Quibi’s plane crash drama ‘Survive’, and the revenge thriller ‘Heavy’. She tied the knot with Joe Jonas and the couple was blessed with their first child last year.
