INVITATION TO A BONFIRE: Tatiana Maslany to Star in New AMC Series

Tatiana Maslany will star and executive produce new AMC Networks series INVITATION TO A BONFIRE.

The series, which is based on the novel by Adrienne Celt, “is a psychological thriller set in the 1930s at an all-girls boarding school in New Jersey.” INVITATION TO A BONFIRE, which is set to debut in 203, also stars Freya Mavor, Pilou Asbæk, and Ngozi Anyanwu.

According to AMC, “the series is inspired by Vladimir and Vera Nabokov’s co-dependent marriage, and follows Zoya (Mavor), a young Russian immigrant and groundskeeper, who is drawn into a lethal love triangle with the school’s newest faculty member (Asbæk) — an enigmatic novelist — and his bewitching wife (Maslany).” Rachel Caris Love will showrun the series. “Inspired by Vera Nabokov, Maslany will portray Vera Orlov, who is more than Leo’s wife; she is his editor—and his everything.”

“Tatiana is a singular talent who we’ve wanted to bring back to the AMC Networks family since her iconic and career-defining performance in ORPHAN BLACK,” said Dan McDermott, AMC Networks’ President of Entertainment and AMC Studios, in a statement. “We’re thrilled to have her join IINVITATION TO A BONFIRE’s talented cast and watch her bring to life the wild flame that is Vera Orlov, both on-screen and behind-the-scenes as an executive producer.”
