‘Guilty Creatures’: Julia Garner to Star in Apple TV’s New True-Crime Series Adaptation!!

Amid Supergirl’s disappointing box office run, the director of the DCU film has secured a new project, collaborating with Emmy winner Julia Garner, best known for her work on the Netflix series Ozark. As fans know, Garner‘s recent prominent film appearances include Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps and Weapons, both of which, released in 2025, were largely well-received. As for her TV career, she was last seen playing the title character in the 2022 miniseries Inventing Anna.

Now, Garner will work with director Craig Gillespie on Apple TV‘s newly commissioned series, Guilty Creatures, per recent reports. She will star in and executive-produce the thriller, which is based on Mikita Brottman‘s acclaimed true-crime book Guilty Creatures: Sex, God, and Murder in Tallahassee, Florida.

The series is produced by Tomorrow Studios, an ITV Studios partner, and developed through the studios’ first-look deals with Garner‘s Alma Margo and Gillespie‘s Fortunate Jack Productions.

This is one of several upcoming projects for the Ozark star. She will soon star alongside Anthony Boyle in Netflix‘s limited series The Altruists, where she also serves as an executive producer. Additionally, she is currently filming opposite Charlize Theron in the Amazon MGM Studios production Tyrant, directed by David Weil from his own script. She will also appear in the upcoming season of Apple TV’s The Studio.
