(from Starz's press release, October 2022) STARZ has green-lit the drama series "The Venery of Samantha Bird." Katherine Langford ("Knives Out," "13 Reasons Why" ) will lead the eight-episode drama in the title role of Samantha. The series is created by Anna Moriarty, who also serves as executive producer. Salvatore Stabile ("Waco") is showrunner and executive producer. Jessica Rhoades ("Station Eleven," "Sharp Objects") executive produces through her Pacesetter Productions shingle, with Rachel Polan serving as co-executive producer. Jessica Yu ("Fosse/Verdon," "Billions") is consulting producer. "'The Venery of Samantha Bird' is the perfect complement to our slate of provocative, immersive storytelling that leans into the female gaze," said Kathryn Busby, President of Original Programming, STARZ. "Katherine is an incredible talent who will bring this modern romance of addictive love to life." Visiting family in New England, Samantha Bird reconnects with her childhood sweetheart and falls headlong into a seemingly perfect storybook romance. But underneath their fever dream lurks a more unsettling interpretation of this affair.
