As an ardent admirer of Anya Taylor-Joy’s exceptional acting skills, I can hardly contain my excitement about her impending return to television with Netflix’s “How to Kill Your Family.” Ever since her mesmerizing performance as Beth Harmon in “The Queen’s Gambit,” she has graced our screens with a string of unforgettable roles, from the chilling Emma in “The Witch” to the enigmatic Peach in the upcoming “Super Mario Bros. Movie.”

As a long-time admirer of Anya Taylor-Joy’s acting abilities, hearing about her return to television and Netflix with her new thriller series, “How to Kill Your Family,” has undoubtedly made my day! Growing up, I always looked forward to watching her performances, and her captivating portrayals left a lasting impression on me. Knowing that she’s back in the game, bringing suspense and mystery to our screens once more, is truly exhilarating. The anticipation for this series has been building within me ever since I heard the news, and I can hardly wait to see what exciting twists and turns her character will take us through!

After her outstanding performance as Beth Harmon in “The Queen’s Gambit”, Taylor-Joy has continued to shine in popular films such as “The Menu”, lending her voice to Peach in the “Super Mario Bros. Movie”, and starring in “Furiosa: A Mad Max Fable”. Although it’s been a while since we last saw her on television, she is now set to return to our screens with an intriguing new role.

The release date for the series titled “How to Kill Your Family” hasn’t been announced yet, but there’s a lot more we know about it. In this British show, Anya Taylor-Joy will be playing Grace Bernard, the central character. According to Netflix’s Tudum, Grace is Simon Artemis’ long-forgotten child, a ruthless billionaire. After suffering a heartbreaking rejection from her father, she chooses to seek revenge. Here’s the full synopsis provided by the streamer:

The eight-episode series follows Grace, who has a complicated family. Her dad is Simon Artemis, a billionaire and ruthless social climber. Grace is the product of an affair Simon claims not to remember, which left Grace and her mom to fend for themselves. When her mother dies and Grace is rejected by the people who should love her, she transforms her anger into something useful — killing off her estranged extended family via morbidly creative means. Soon, Grace is clawing her way toward revenge and a hefty inheritance. But her mission pulls her away from what she really needs.

The forthcoming thriller shares its title with a novel written by Bella Mackie, and while specific details about casting haven’t been revealed yet, they are expected soon. With the exceptional talent of Anya Taylor-Joy for infusing her characters with unique qualities and subtle nuances, I’m eagerly anticipating this upcoming series not only because of its intriguing plot but also due to Taylor-Joy’s involvement in a demanding and captivating role. Her ability to breathe life into complex roles is unparalleled, and I have no doubt she will deliver another stellar performance!
