STAIRCASE TRAILER
FOR COLIN FIRTH HBO SERIES
Staircase will stream on HBO Max May 5th
After the recent teaser, HBO has released a full trailer for their eight episode series THE STAIRCASE starting May 5th with three opening episodes with the rest of them airing then one per week! Starring Colin Firth, Toni Collette, Michael Stuhlbarg, Juliette Binoche, Dane DeHaan, Rosemarie DeWitt, Tim Guinee, Patrick Schwarzenegger,
and Parker Posey, it is based on a true story and explores the life of
Michael Peterson (Firth), his sprawling North Carolina family, and the
very suspicious death of his wife, Kathleen Peterson (Collette). It was a case that shocked the world and left him serving a prison sentence. Check out the trailer and poster below:
I swear they are the series with the biggest cast. I remember following the casting process for the first season for about two years and thinking how will they fit them all in the plot, now they ad even more of them. I just hope Mariane will be pushed aside as a very supporting character and that others will be in the focus now.
Her only story was with Raikes, with him gone, she really has no business in the show. Hope the focus will be on Bertha and George. I think I saw Turner's name in the list of returning characters, sadly. But I'm not sure.
The Staircase's trailer is actually intriguing. They did a great job of saying one thing with words but letting their faces do the talking while sitting at the dinner table.
Good Lord, the whole family looks a little dysfunctional in The Staircase. Though we love dysfunctional families because they make us feel better about our own, so we'll definitely be watching that one.
Every single one. And if it seems like they aren't dysfunctional, they are probably the bat shittiest craziest family of them all. Those are the murderous ones LOL

This sounds like a lot of subplots in TGA. Can't wait to see them unfold!

DeleteMy sentiments exactly. Hope Marian fades into the background.

ReplyDeleteAren't most families disfunctional? Maybe not murderously so, but probably close LOL

DeleteYes, some are good in hiding it. I am quite surprised that my family does not have murder in our history lol
