Add Linda Cardellini to HBO. The newest band, the star of “Bloodline” and “Dead to Me” has been in “DTF St. John’s. ” Louis, HBO’s upcoming comedy-drama starring Jason Bateman and David Harbour.
The upcoming seven-episode limited series follows “a love triangle between three adults who suffer from a middle-aged malaise that leads to one of their deaths,” a press for the series states. The black comedy is in charge of Steven Conrad, who is also a screenwriter and director. Conrad is known for his work on “The Pursuit of Happiness,” “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” and Prime Video’s “Patriot. “”DTF St. Louis” is lately in pre-production.
In addition to Conrad, the series will be produced by Bateman and Harbor as Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal and Steve Tisch for Escape Artists; Michael Costigan for Bateman’s Aggregate Films; Kristina Wenson for Bravo Axolotl; Molly Allen; and Bruce Terris. The series comes from MGM Television.
Cardellini just recently wrapped “Way of the Warrior Kid,” Skydance’s film for Apple in which she stars alongside Chris Pratt. She can also be seen in the Hulu film “Nutcrackers,” where she stars opposite Ben Stiller. The holiday comedy-drama opened the 2024 Toronto Film Festival.
Looking ahead, Cardellini will next appear in the Netflix series “No Good Deed” alongside Ray Romano, Lisa Kudrow, Denis Leary and Luke Wilson. This assignment will also reunite the actor with “Dead to Me” author Liz Feldman. This series earned her an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.
Originally titled “My Dentist’s Murder Trial,” this task has been in progress for more than two years. It was initially based on a 2017 New Yorker story by James Lasdun with Pedro Pascal attached. Pascal then left the series, which has since become an original story.
