The series was first announced in July with Tessa Thompson set to star. Netflix has ordered six episodes. Production begins this fall.
The official description of the series reads: "Set in the sweltering heat of Atlanta, Anna (Thompson) lives in eerie isolation, languishing from her friends and career as a news anchor. But when she hears of a murder in Dahlonega, the sleepy town where she grew up, Anna is brought back to life, diving into the case and searching for answers. Detective Jack Harper (Bernthal) is strangely suspicious of her involvement and pursues her into the crosshairs of his own investigation. There are two sides to every story: his and hers, which means someone is always lying."
Bernthal's character is further described as "a Sheriff's Office detective who lost his last job and now works in his small hometown of Dahlonega, Georgia, where he lives with his sister and niece. He is married to newscaster Anna, but the two are estranged, their relationship complicated by loss and betrayal. Jack is a good man who doesn't always make good decisions and is in deep trouble over the murder case he just took on."
