Gwyneth Paltrow to Star in Netflix Series 'The Apology'

Gwyneth Paltrow takes her first series-regular role in the thriller, which Netflix says it bought preemptively amid slowing engagement growth.

  • Netflix has ordered two seasons of the thriller series 'The Apology,' starring Oscar winner Gwyneth Paltrow in her first major television role. Director Thomas Vinterberg makes his US television debut.
  • Written by Joe Murtagh, the show follows Evelyn and Caleb Amspoker, whose son was murdered 18 years ago in a cold case. When a stranger confesses, the couple learns the killer may receive a reduced sentence.
  • Jinny Howe, Netflix's head of U.S. and Canada scripted series, spearheaded the deal, which will be produced by A24 and Joe Hipps' Cut To. Murtagh serves as showrunner and executive producer alongside Hipps, Vinterberg, and Paltrow.
  • The two-season commitment follows a turbulent week at Netflix that included layoffs of about 1,000 employees. Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria was replaced by Peter Rice, while former film chief Dan Lin was ousted.
  • This preemptive multi-season order signals a strategic shift for Netflix, which has moved away from such commitments in recent years. The move aims to reestablish dominance amid Wall Street concerns over slowing engagement growth.
