Kill Bill‘s Uma Thurman – who can also be seen in Lars von Trier’s controversial House That Jack Built later this year – has been tapped for a starring role in “Chambers”, Netflix’s upcoming hourlong supernatural drama from Stephen Gaghan and Super Deluxe, reports Deadline.
Created and written by Leah Rachel, who co-showruns with Akela Cooper:
“‘Chambers’ centers on a young heart attack survivor who becomes consumed by the mystery surrounding the heart that saved her life. However, the closer she gets to uncovering the truth about her donor’s sudden death, the more she starts taking on the characteristics of the deceased — some of which are troublingly sinister.”
Thurman will play Nancy, the mother of the heart donor who forges a hesitant relationship with the young recipient only to find out her daughter may not be as dead as she thought.
Gaghan executive produces Chambers via Super Emotional alongside Rachel and Cooper as well as Wolfgang Hammer and Winnie Kemp via Super Deluxe. The drama, which landed a 10-episode straight-to-series order by Netflix in January, was developed by Super Deluxe and is Turner’s digital content studio’s first full-length TV series.
