Mad Men‘s Linda Cardellini is set to co-star opposite Kyle Chandler and Ben Mendelsohn in Netflix‘s 13-episode psychological thriller from Damages creators Todd A. Kessler, Daniel Zelman and Glenn Kessler and Sony Pictures TV. Written and executive produced by the Kessler brothers and Zelman in their follow-up to the acclaimed FX/DirecTV legal thriller starring Glenn Close, the untitled series centers on a close-knit family of adult siblings whose secrets and scars are revealed when the black sheep oldest brother, Danny (Mendesohn), returns home. Cardellini, repped by ICM Partners and Mosaic Media, will play the youngest of four siblings, Meg, a skilled attorney who’s also warm, caring and fun but, beneath her buoyant exterior, she is a complex woman with secrets. Chandler plays the middle brother. Filming is set to begin in late March in the Florida Keys. Cardellini earned an Emmy nomination last year for her first season on Mad Men, where she plays Don Draper’s mistress Sylvia. The ER and Freaks & Geeks alumna recently wrapped comedy feature Welcome To Me and is filming Lost In Austin.
