Kate Winslet to Topline and Exec Produce HBO Detective Limited Series “Mare of Easttown”

Winslet in "Mildred Pierce": HBO

Kate Winslet is returning to HBO. The Oscar winner has signed on to her first small screen role since starring in the premium cable network’s 2011 miniseries “Mildred Pierce,” for which she scored an Emmy and a Golden Globe. She’s re-teaming with HBO for another story about a woman whose life falls apart — but this time around, it’s not her daughter’s doing.

Variety reports that Winslet will topline and exec produce “Mare of Easttown.” Set in small-town Pennsylvania, the limited series centers on a woman who finds her world “crumbling around her as she investigates a local murder.”

Winslet won her Oscar in 2009 for “The Reader.” She’s also received nods for “Steve Jobs,” “Little Children,” “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,” “Iris,” “Titanic,” and “Sense and Sensibility.” “The Mountain Between Us” and “Wonder Wheel” are among her recent credits, and her upcoming projects include “Avatar 2” and Francis Lee’s “Ammonite,” a lesbian love story that takes place in the 1820s. Saoirse Ronan co-stars in the latter.
