Pieces of Her is based on the 2018 novel by Karin Slaughter, and is about a young woman named Andrea who is caught up in a mass shooting at a diner.

It was originally supposed to be filmed in British Columbia, Canada, last year, but the Covid-19 pandemic saw the shoot delayed and production moved to Australia.

According to What’s On Netflix, Toni will portray Laura Oliver, who is a mother with a mysterious past life.

On surface, Laura is described as ‘seemingly the perfect Southern woman, devoted to her work as a speech pathologist and to her disaffected daughter, Andy’.

The website also states Bella Heathcote and Lord of the Rings actor David Wenham will appear.

Bella will play Laura’s daughter, who goes on a journey to discover her mother’s secrets. David will play Jasper Queller, a man from Laura’s past life.

The series is getting plenty of buzz as it’s being produced by the same company behind HBO’s The Undoing and Netflix’s Anatomy of a Scandal.
