Claire Danes is staying in business with Netflix.
The multiple Emmy winner, coming off the streamer’s The Beast in Me, is set to star in a series called Lovesick. Netflix won a competitive bidding process by giving the show, from showrunner Sarah Treem (The Affair), a straight-to-series order.
Based on an Israeli series title The Best Worst Thing, Lovesick is described as a “sweeping, modern romantic epic.” Danes (who also executive produces) will play Annika, “a renowned breast cancer surgeon, has just received her own cancer diagnosis,” per the show’s logline. “Her new patient, Nate, is a promising politician. The series explores their interwoven lives, delving into themes of love, sex, illness, death, family, children, health, medicine, and the meaning of life — all while Annika is simultaneously undergoing breast cancer treatment.”
