From “Yerma” to “I Hate Suzie” to “Rare Beasts,” Billie Piper is no stranger to portraying characters navigating inner turmoil, public scrutiny, and family trauma. She will tackle similar subject matter with her next project, a Netflix series based on Terri White’s memoir, “Coming Undone.” Piper is set to star in and executive produce the drama. Deadline broke the news.

The former editor-in-chief of Empire magazine, White “documents the conflict between her outward success and private trauma that spiraled into a mental health crisis, which resulted in…time on a psychiatric ward” in “Coming Undone.” The memoir also revisits White’s childhood, spent in poverty, and the sexual and physical abuse she was subjected to by her mother’s partners.

White will pen the “Coming Undone” adaptation. Bad Wolf, the company behind “I Hate Suzie,” is producing.

A columnist for the Sunday Times, White previously worked for Time Out. She served as Empire’s editor-in-chief from 2015-2021.

“Doctor Who,” “Secret Diary of a Call Girl,” and “Penny Dreadful” are among Piper’s best-known credits. She won an Olivier Award for Best Actress for her role in “Yerma,” a play about a journalist who is desperate to have a child. Her directorial debut, the anti-rom-com “Rare Beasts,” was released last year. Piper also wrote and starred in the pic.

“I Hate Suzie,” a dark comedy series about an actress whose life falls apart after her phone is hacked, has been renewed for Season 2, expected later this year. Piper created the Sky/HBO Max show with her “Secret Diary of a Call Girl” collaborator Lucy Prebble. Piper received a BAFTA TV Award nomination for her leading role and the show also picked up a nod for Drama Series.
