The requested Olivia Colman already has a new role on television. The British actress will star in and produce the next HBO and Sky Landscapers miniseries. According to Variety , she will play Susan Edwards, a famous murderer sentenced to 25 years in jail for killing her parents with the help of her husband.

Colman's husband, Ed Sinclair, signs the script for the miniseries, based on hours of interviews with people involved in the crime, including the accused, who have always maintained their innocence. The Oscar-winning Alexander Payne ( The Descendants ) will direct the fiction, which will consist of four chapters. Sky will broadcast Landscapers in Spain .

Known for her roles in the Broadchurch or The Infiltrator series , Colman achieved global recognition after winning the Oscar for best actress for her work in the favorite Yorgos Lanthimos movie . Currently, the 45-year-old actress brings Isabel II to life in the Netflix series The Crown . After replacing Claire Foy, who played the monarch in the first two seasons of the series, Colman will play the Queen of England in the third and fourth installments.

Returning to Landscapers , this miniseries will try to clarify why Susan and Christopher Edwards killed Susan's parents in 1998 and buried them in the back garden of their home in Mansfield, UK, hiding the murder for 15 years . During this time, the couple pretended that the victims were alive to continue collecting their social benefits until they were discovered in 2014.

South of the River Pictures, a company recently created by Colman and Sinclair, will produce Landscapers with Sister for HBO and the pan-European giant Sky. The actress and screenwriter will also act as executive producers. HBO returns to work with Sister, producer behind one of her most unexpected successes of the season: Chernobyl .
