The Roku Channel has set an April launch for its gritty six-episode psychological thriller series reimagining of the 1994 cult comedy film “Swimming with Sharks”.
Diane Kruger stars as Joyce Holt, studio head of Fountain Pictures, while “Sabrina” star Kiernan Shipka will play her intern, Lou Simms, who develops an extreme obsession with her boss.
The show follows the great undertakings Lou – who is anything but a naive newcomer to the industry – will go to get closer to Joyce. Donald Sutherland, Ross Butler, Thomas Dekker, Finn Jones, Erica Alexander and Gerardo Celasco also star.
Kathleen Robertson serves as showrunner and creator while directed by Tucker Gates directs. The series was previously developed at Quibi and was produced by Lionsgate Television.
