Renée Zellweger to make the jump to TV with neo-noir Netflix series What/If

Following the lead of far too many other movie stars (most recently Jake Gyllenhaal), Renée Zellweger has been forced to move over to the TV world, with Netflix announcing that she’ll be starring in a new “neo-noir social thriller” called What/If. This will be Zellweger’s first regular TV gig, having previously spent decades as a proper movie star, and she’ll be playing a “mysterious woman” who makes a “lucrative, but dubious” offer to a pair of newlyweds. We don’t know exactly what that offer is, but the official description also mentions that What/If is about “the ripple effects of what happens when acceptable people start doing unacceptable things,” so we can assume the offer involves something… “unacceptable.”
