David Sullivan (Flaked), Reagan Pasternak (Being Erica), Sydney Sweeney (Under the Silver Lake) and Hilary Ward (All the Way) are set for recurring roles opposite Amy Adams in HBO’s eight-episode drama series Sharp Objects, from Entertainment One and Blumhouse Television.
Written by Marti Noxon based on the book by Gillian Flynn and directed by Jean Marc Vallée, Sharp Objects centers on crime reporter Camille Preaker (Adams), who, fresh from a brief stay at a psychiatric hospital, 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.
Sullivan will play Chris, an affable local bar owner and a friend of Camille’s from their high school days. Pasternak is Katie Lacey, a childhood friend of Camille, but now the ringleader of a group of ex-cheerleaders wives of Wind Gap, Missouri – small town alpha women who would clamor at the chance to relieve their high school days. Sweeney will play Alice, Camille’s young roommate during her stay at a psychiatric hospital. Alice shares her love of music and the two women form a lasting bond. Ward will portray Becca, an ex-classmate and former cheerleading teammate of Camille. She is the only one among her peers who knows Camille’s darkest secret.
