The Staircase
Oscar winner Colin Firth and Oscar nominee Toni Collette were nominated for Outstanding Actress and Actor in a Limited Series at this year’s Emmys for the biographical drama series The Staircase.
Inspired by a true story, the eight-part series explores the life of Michael Peterson, a crime novelist accused of killing his wife Kathleen after she is found dead at the bottom of the staircase in their home, and the 16-year judicial battle that followed.
The series is created and directed by Cannes Film Festival award winner and Sundance Award nominee Antonio Campos (The Devil All the Time, Christine), with Oscar nominee Harrison Ford among its executive producers.
The Staircase was one of the Most Anticipated Series of 2022 on Rotten Tomatoes, where it has a 93% critics rating. The Guardian calls it “riveting… practically fizzing with tension… If you didn’t know it was true, you wouldn’t believe it.”
The star-studded cast includes Emmy nominees Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones) and Michael Stuhlbarg (Boardwalk Empire), Oscar winner Juliette Binoche (Chocolat), Teen Choice nominee Patrick Schwarzenegger (Midnight Sun), MTV Movie & TV Award nominee Parker Posey (Scream 3), Olivia DeJonge (Priscilla in Elvis) and Cullen Moss (The Righteous Gemstones, Your Honor).
