Oscar nominee and Emmy winner Patricia Clarkson has booked a starring role in the straight-to-series eight-episode drama, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
Published in 2006, Sharp Objects centers on reporter Camille Preaker (Amy Adams) — fresh from a brief stay at a psychiatric hospital — who must return to her tiny hometown to cover the murders of two preteen girls. Trying to put together a psychological puzzle from her past, Camille finds herself identifying with the young victims a bit too closely.
Clarkson, who returns to HBO following her Emmy-winning turn in Six Feet Under, will play Adora Crellin, Camille's mother queen of Wind Gap's highest society. Haunted by the untimely passing of Camille's sister decades earlier, her anxiety is manifested through an overbearing love and protection for her youngest, Amma (uncast). The sudden return of her estranged daughter, Camille, provokes her subtle hostility that threatens Camille’s sobriety and sanity.
