Apple TV announces new thriller "Guilty Creatures," with Emmy Award winner Julia Garner set to star and executive produce

Craig Gillespie to direct and executive produce the Tomorrow Studios-produced thriller from acclaimed true-crime author Mikita Brottman

Today, Apple TV announced it will expand its award-winning series slate with "Guilty Creatures," a new thriller led by three-time Emmy Award and Golden Globe Award winner Julia Garner ("Ozark," "Weapons"), who will star and executive produce. Craig Gillespie ("I, Tonya," "Your Friends & Neighbors," "Pam & Tommy") will direct the series adapted from the acclaimed true-crime book by author Mikita Brottman. Stuart Zicherman ("The Shrink Next Door," "Sweetbitter," "The Americans") will serve as showrunner and executive producer on the series, which is adapted for the screen by Sarah DeLappe ("Bodies Bodies Bodies").

Based on the book "Guilty Creatures: Sex, God, and Murder in Tallahassee, Florida," the series delves into the psyche of a torrid romance and subsequent act of murder between two young, adulterous but God-fearing lovers, unraveling their complex lives and the emotional toll of living as killers for 18 years. This riveting true-crime narrative, set against a backdrop of sex and murder in the Florida panhandle, promises to become an instant classic.

Marty Adelstein, Becky Clements and Alissa Bachner will executive produce through Tomorrow Studios, along with Garner through Alma Margo. Showrunner Zicherman also serves as executive producer alongside DeLappe. Gillespie and Annie Marter executive produce through Fortunate Jack Productions.
