‘Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone’ Series Adds Eight, Including Sean Astin, Patricia Clarkson

Amazon’s upcoming series adaptation of “Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone” has added eight new series regulars, Variety has learned.

Patricia Clarkson (“Sharp Objects,” “Pieces of April”), Elizabeth Marvel (“Disclosure Day,” “Presumed Innocent”), Daniella Garcia (“Diamond,” “Grey’s Anatomy”), Felix Solis (“Ozark,” “Sirens”), Sean Astin (“Stranger Things,” “The Lord of the Rings”), Annaleigh Ashford (“Happy Face,” “Welcome to Chippendales”), Chris Walley (“The Young Offenders,” “1917”), and Eliza Bennett (“Sweet/Vicious,” “Dynasty”) have all been cast in the show, which is based on the Benjamin Stevenson novel of the same name. In addition, Alexandra Broksky has boarded the series as executive producer and will direct half the episodes, including both the premiere and the season finale.

The new additions join previously announced series lead Penn Badgley. Described as darkly comedic, the logline for the show states:

“Set deep in the dense mountains of Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom, the series follows Ern Cunningham (Badgley), a mystery-writing expert who reluctantly attends a family reunion to welcome his brother Michael home from prison — the same brother Ern helped convict. When a frozen body appears and a snowstorm traps everyone inside, the deaths begin to mount. Everyone in his family has already killed someone – either by accident or otherwise.”

David Hemingson is attached to adapt the murder mystery book and serve as showrunner and executive producer. Bruna Papandrea, Steve Hutensky, and Jeanne Snow of Made Up Stories will also executive produce, as will Molly Allen and Brodsky. Badgley will executive produce in addition to starring, with Stevenson also executive producing. Amazon MGM Studios, Fifth Season, and Made Up Stories will co-produce.
