Gwyneth Paltrow will lead her first TV show in The Apology

The logline reads: “When a stranger suddenly appears and confesses, justice finally seems possible—until they learn the killer may get off with a reduced sentence. Faced with that unbearable truth, Evelyn and Caleb decide to take matters into their own hands.” Joe Murtagh (The Woman In The Wall) wrote the series and will serve as the showrunner, and Thomas Vinterberg, the filmmaker behind Another Round, will direct it. Paltrow, Murtagh, and Joe Hipps of Cut To will serve as executive producers. The Apology is a big deal for Paltrow, who’s best known for her big-screen roles and her involvement in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (even though she often forgets about that). Gleeks will also likely remember Paltrow for her Emmy-winning guest role as Holly Holliday on Glee (she later appeared on Ryan Murphy’s Netflix series The Politician, too).
