“It was initially optioned back in 2016, the year the book came out, by a different company, not Netflix,” Ware tells The Hollywood Reporter of the Keira Knightley-starring adaptation of Ware’s 2016 mystery novel. “Then it sort of did that Hollywood thing of kind of being renewed and passed around, and eventually Netflix picked it up. Then everything went kind of quiet for a couple of years. I didn’t really expect it to happen until I got the call to say that Keira Knightley had been cast as Lo, and that felt really exciting and also amazing.”
The film, which released on the streamer Friday, is directed by Simon Stone and stars Knightley as Lo Blacklock alongside Guy Pearce, Art Malik, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Kaya Scodelario, Daniel Ings and Hannah Waddingham.
