Susanne Bier (HBO’sThe Undoing) will direct and executive-produce the series.

(Fun fact: Pfeiffer’s husband, David E. Kelley, producedThe Undoing.)

She also raised awareness of addiction after she made public her battle with alcoholism and substance abuse.

The series was created by Aaron Cooley, who authoredFour Seats: A Thriller of the Supreme Court.

Cooley will write several episodes.
