Netflix is having it easy when it comes to attracting top talent. The video streaming service is putting together another drama that already counts Friday Night Lights star Kyle Chandler and Mad Men’s Linda Cardellini as members the cast. Now, you can add Oscar winner Sissy Spacek.
The new drama doesn’t have a title at the moment, but Chandler was the first to sign on last month. It was created by Damages team Todd A. Kessler, Glenn Kessler and Daniel Zelman and the plot centers on a family whose troubles surface when an outcast brother returns. The series will run 13 episodes.
Cardellini was cast earlier this week and will play the youngest sibling in the family. Ben Mendelsohn is also set to play the oldest son.
According to Deadline, Spacek was cast as the matriarch of the family.
Spacek won an Oscar for 1980’s Coal Miner’s Daughter and last received a nomination for 2001’s In The Bedroom. The legendary actress recently appeared on Big Love and in The Help.
