Anya Taylor-Joy, the breakout star of Netflix’s wildly popular “The Queen’s Gambit,” is set to return to the streaming giant in a brand-new series adaptation of Bella Mackie’s bestselling novel, How to Kill Your Family.

Announced at the prestigious Edinburgh TV Festival, this gripping eight-part series will see Taylor-Joy stepping into the shoes of Grace Bernard, a character as complex as she is dangerous.

The storyline centres on Grace Bernard, a woman with an extraordinarily complicated family history. Her father, Simon Artemis, is a billionaire with a ruthless ambition to climb the social ladder. Grace is the unwanted product of an affair he claims to have forgotten, leaving her and her mother to struggle on their own. After her mother’s death, and having been shunned by the very people who should have embraced her, Grace channels her fury into a chillingly calculated mission: eliminating her estranged family one by one, using a series of morbidly creative methods.

As Grace meticulously plots her path to vengeance and a substantial inheritance, she finds herself drifting further from what she truly desires.

This darkly comic tale of revenge and family dysfunction promises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats, and with Anya Taylor-Joy leading the cast, it’s bound to be one of Netflix’s most talked-about series.

Expect this series to be a captivating mix of suspense, dark humour, and a twisted exploration of family dynamics—perfect for those who relish a good dose of the macabre.
