Julia Garner is set to star in the Apple TV+ thriller series Guilty Creatures and will also executive produce through Alma Margo. The recently greenlit series is an adaptation of Mikita Brottman's true-crime book Guilty Creatures: S**, God, and Murder in Tallahassee, Florida. It will be directed by Pam & Tommy director Craig Gillespie, while Stuart Zicherman serves as the showrunner and executive producer. 

While the details about the show are not revealed yet, the series follows two lovers whose secret affair leads to murder, forcing them to live with the consequences for nearly two decades. It is produced by ITV Studios partner Tomorrow Studios, and was developed through the studio's existing production deals with Julia Garner's Alma Margo and Gillespie’s Fortunate Jack Productions. Gillespie is also executive producing through his banner, Fortunate Jack.  

Marty Adelstein, Becky Clements, and Alissa Bachner are also set to executive produce through Tomorrow Studios. More cast members will likely be announced in the future. As for Garner, this is not the only crime series that Garner will be handling this year.
