“It’s been a joy to partner with Netflix on this and see S.J. bring it to such a rich and nuanced life.”

Sienna Miller added: “I was a huge fan of the book and of my character Sophie. She is multi-faceted and facing the consequences of the decisions she has made in her life of privilege that are catching up with her.
