Todd Haynes To Write & Direct New HBO Series Starring Kate Winslet
Jun 12, 2024
A lot of people might think the era of Prestige TV began in 2013 or 2014, with the release of “House of Cards” or “True Detective.” But really, you can look at something like 2011’s “Mildred Pierce” as the start. And the people behind that limited series are teaming up yet again for a new HBO series, “Trust.”

According to Variety, Todd Haynes is set to co-write and direct a new limited series, “Trust,” starring Kate Winslet. The series is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name by author Hernan Diaz. Here’s the synopsis:
In a story told from multiple, competing perspectives, a 1920s Wall Street tycoon amasses a sudden fortune but loses a beloved wife. Decades later, his attempts to control the narrative of his life are undone by a biographer who uncovers the ultimate secrets of the legendary marriage.
As mentioned, Haynes and Winslet previously teamed up on HBO for the award-winning series, “Mildred Pierce.” Winslet is no stranger to HBO projects recently, having starred in “Mare of Easttown,” as well as the recent series, “The Regime.” Haynes most recently worked on the acclaimed drama, “May December.” Before that, he worked on films such as “Carol,” “Dark Waters,” and “Wonderstruck.”
It’s unclear when we might be able to see “Trust” on HBO. The series is still being developed, but it does seem as if it might be the next project for Haynes.
