Apple TV has given a series order to Guilty Creatures, adapting Mikita Brottman's nonfiction book Guilty Creatures: Sex, God, and Murder in Tallahassee, Florida. Three-time Emmy and Golden Globe winner Julia Garner will star and executive produce through her production company Alma Margo, according to an announcement from Apple on July 6.
Craig Gillespie (I, Tonya, Pam & Tommy) is set to direct and executive produce through his Fortunate Jack Productions. Stuart Zicherman (The Shrink Next Door, The Americans) will serve as showrunner and executive producer, with Bodies Bodies Bodies writer Sarah DeLappe adapting the source material. Tomorrow Studios produces the series for Apple.
The case at the center begins in December 2000, when a man named Mike Williams disappeared from the Florida panhandle with no body ever found. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Williams's friend Brian Winchester later divorced his own wife and married Williams's widow, Denise. The full truth did not surface for another twelve years. Brottman, who chronicled the case, will also serve as an executive producer alongside Garner, Gillespie, Zicherman, DeLappe, and Tomorrow Studios's Marty Adelstein, Becky Clements, and Alissa Bachner.
For Garner, the project marks a significant step into producing. Her prior credits include Ozark, for which she won three Emmy Awards, and Weapons. No premiere date has been announced.
