Anya Taylor-Joy, best known for her performances in The Queen's Gambit and Furiosa, is set to star in a series adaptation of Bella Mackie's bestselling novel How to Kill Your Family. Taylor-Joy will portray Grace Bernard, the forgotten daughter of a ruthless billionaire who embarks on a quest for revenge after a devastating heartbreak. Emma Moran, the creator of Extraordinary, will write and executive produce the eight-episode series for Netflix. It promises an exploration of family, betrayal, and the lengths one will go to for justice.

Mackie, the author of the novel and the executive producer of the series, expressed her enthusiasm for Taylor-Joy taking on the role. She said, “Taylor-Joy is the most perfect fit to play Grace. I often think she understands her better than I do."

An equally excited Taylor-Joy shared, "As soon as I turned the last page, I knew I had to be a part of bringing this story to life. After some (light) stalking of the inimitable Bella Mackie, I could not be more thrilled to be collaborating with the team that is executive producers Sally Woodward Gentle, Lizzie Rusbridger, and Emma. I am looking forward to getting our hands even dirtier."

The makers are yet to announce further cast and crew details about the project.
