“The Killing’s” creator and leading lady are re-teaming for a new project. Mireille Enos is starring in “Between the Earth and the Sky,” a family drama from Veena Sud. Deadline reports that the Blumhouse title is currently in production in Toronto.
Written and directed by Sud, the pic co-stars Peter Sarsgaard and Joey King. The logline hasn’t been made public yet, and “Between the Earth and the Sky” is a working title.
Enos earned a Golden Globe and Emmy nod for her role as detective Sarah Linden in “The Killing.” Sud received an Emmy nomination for writing the pilot of the murder mystery, which debuted on AMC in 2011. The show ran for three seasons on the cable channel before being cancelled and revived for a fourth and final run on Netflix.
Sud has a new series with the streamer on the way. Titled “Seven Seconds,” the crime drama is set in Jersey City and centers on racial tensions that arise when a teenage African-American boy is injured by a white cop.
Enos toplined Shondaland romantic thriller “The Catch.” The ABC series ran from 2016–17. Her other credits include “Big Love” and “If I Stay.”
Sud has revealed most of the cast for “The Killing” was hired quickly, but finding the right actor to play Linden took the longest time. “We saw everybody,” she said. “Everybody wanted this role. Every female actor in town really wanted to play a real woman and be in this drama. It was incredible that all these women were coming in. And then, Mireille walked in the door and she was reading the lines that I had written, and I saw her in that field. I was like, ‘Wow, she’s the one.’”
