The star-studded crime thriller The Better Sister has just been added to UK streaming.

The series is inspired by Alafair Burke’s 2019 novel with the same title. It features Elizabeth Banks and Jessica Biel in leading roles, portraying estranged siblings named Nicky and Chloe.

In the year 2025, the story unfolds around two long-lost sisters, who find themselves reconnected following an unexpected turn of events: Chloe’s spouse, Adam (portrayed by Corey Stoll), meets with a tragic end, leading to the unveiling of hidden family mysteries.

Chloe lives among the upper echelons of New York society, accompanied by her attorney husband Adam and their teenage son Ethan. Meanwhile, her sister Nicky struggles financially and battles addiction.

When Adam is tragically killed in a violent manner, the ensuing investigation leaves the family stunned and uncovers hidden truths that had been kept concealed for years.

In the UK, all eight episodes of the mini-series are now streaming on Amazon Prime Video, allowing viewers to watch them back-to-back at their convenience.

Burke’s book, titled ‘The Better Sister,’ offers a gripping and intricate narrative that belongs in the genre of psychological thrillers, often referred to as ‘domestic noir.’ If you enjoy suspenseful storylines filled with unexpected twists and turns, this television adaptation is not to be missed.

In addition to Banks and Biel, we have Lorraine Toussaint from Orange Is the New Black, Kim Dickens from Fear the Walking Dead, Bobby Naderi from Black Summer, and Matthew Modine from Stranger Things joining the cast.

As a gaming enthusiast, I can’t help but share my excitement about the upcoming series, “The Better Sister,” produced by Amazon MGM Studios. This isn’t just an intriguing thriller with unexpected twists; it’s also a deeply moving tale that dives into the complexities of family squabbles and the power of forgiveness.

Vernon commended the show’s executive producers Olivia Milch and Regina Corrado, as well as its director Craig Gillespie, by saying: “The exceptional pairing of Jessica Biel and Elizabeth Banks is poised to breathe life into these characters in a truly genuine manner, working alongside Olivia, Regina, Craig, and the gifted crew at Tomorrow Studios.

Our series is being handled by the most capable people, ensuring they faithfully adapt Alafair Burke’s unique intellectual property for the enjoyment of our worldwide Amazon Prime Video audience.

The Better Sister is available to stream now on Prime Video in the UK.

The inaugural print issue of Digital Spy’s magazine, titled “British Comedy Legends,” is available! You can purchase this at your local newsstands or online for a special price of only £3.99.
