Anya Taylor-Joy, the breakout star from Netflix’s *The Queen’s Gambit*, is making a highly anticipated return to the platform with a new, thrilling project. She’s set to lead the series adaptation of Bella Mackie’s bestselling novel *How to Kill Your Family*, and fans are already buzzing about this dark comedy. Announced at the Edinburgh TV Festival, this eight-episode series promises a captivating story filled with revenge, complex family dynamics, and Taylor-Joy’s signature intensity.
In How to Kill Your Family*, Taylor-Joy takes on the role of Grace Bernard, a character whose life is far from ordinary. Grace’s father, Simon Artemis, is a billionaire and an unapologetic social climber, who dismisses Grace and her mother after an affair he pretends never happened. Left to fend for themselves, Grace’s life takes a dark turn when her mother dies and she’s rejected by the family that should have supported her. Fueled by anger and a thirst for revenge, Grace devises morbidly creative ways to eliminate her estranged relatives, all in pursuit of a hefty inheritance.

Taylor-Joy’s excitement for the project is palpable. In a statement, she shared how the novel immediately gripped her, leading her to seek out a role in the adaptation. Teaming up with Sid Gentle Films Ltd, known for their hit series *Killing Eve*, and with Emma Moran as the lead writer, the series is shaping up to be a must-watch. Taylor-Joy also steps into the role of executive producer through her production company, LadyKiller Productions Inc., further showcasing her passion and investment in the project.
Bella Mackie, the author of *How to Kill Your Family*, couldn’t be more thrilled with the casting of Taylor-Joy. She praised the actress for her deep understanding of Grace, even suggesting that Taylor-Joy might know the character better than Mackie herself. This collaboration between Mackie, Sid Gentle Films, and Taylor-Joy is set to bring the novel’s dark humor and twisted plot to life in a way that only this powerhouse team can achieve.
The series is expected to delve deep into the psyche of Grace Bernard, exploring themes of revenge, identity, and the lengths one will go to in the pursuit of justice-or at least, what Grace sees as justice. With a story that’s as dark as it is compelling, How to Kill Your Family is poised to be a standout series on Netflix, attracting fans of both Taylor-Joy and Mackie’s work.
As the release date approaches, anticipation continues to build.
