The new Apple TV+ series, 'Guilty Creatures,' is an adaptation of Mikita Brottman's compelling true-crime book, 'Guilty Creatures: Sex, God, and Murder in Tallahassee, Florida.' The narrative plunges into the dark heart of a real-life crime, exploring the illicit romance and subsequent murder committed by two young, ostensibly devout lovers in the Florida Panhandle. The series aims to dissect their complex psychological states and the profound burden of living as killers for nearly two decades.
Julia Garner and Lewis Pullman are expected to portray the central, troubled couple, whose affair and violent act form the core of the story. Hasson's role as a series regular is a significant addition to the ensemble, though specific details about her character have not yet been disclosed.
Behind the camera, the project boasts a strong creative team. Craig Gillespie, acclaimed for his work on 'I, Tonya' and 'Pam & Tommy,' is set to direct, bringing his distinctive flair for character-driven narratives to the thriller. Stuart Zicherman ('The Americans') serves as showrunner, while Sarah DeLappe, known for her play 'The Wolves,' is adapting Brottman's book for the screen. Brottman herself is also involved as an executive producer.
'Guilty Creatures' is being produced by Tomorrow Studios, an ITV Studios partner, and developed through first-look deals with Garner's Alma Margo and Gillespie's Fortunate Jack Productions. The executive producer roster is extensive, including Marty Adelstein, Becky Clements, Alissa Bachner, Julia Garner, Stuart Zicherman, Sarah DeLappe, Craig Gillespie, Annie Marter, and Mikita Brottman.
This casting marks another prominent role for Hasson, who recently led the survival thriller 'Bone Lake' and was a series regular in Netflix's 'The Recruit.' Her previous credits also include James Wan's horror film 'Malignant,' 'Taurus,' and 'Novitiate.' Fans can also anticipate seeing her in the upcoming limited series 'The Altruists,' produced by Higher Ground Productions.
