Naomi Watts, Liev Schreiber's Wife, Joins Netflix's 'Gypsy' By Director Sam Taylor-Johnson

Netflix's library of original content keeps growing, as the online streaming giant has managed to get some of the biggest names in Hollywood for their projects -- and there's a new Oscar nominee joining in! Naomi Watts, best known for her work in films like The Impossible, will star in the psychological thriller Gypsy, also involving Fifty Shades of Grey director Sam Taylor-Johnson.

According to Indie Wire, the 47-year-old British actress will be headlining Netflix's Gypsy, a series centering on therapist Jean Holloway, who "begins to develop dangerous and intimate relationships with the people in her patients' lives." Jean is seemingly not too keen on following ethical conventions.

Netflix has already ordered a ten-episode series from the project, which will be penned by Lisa Rubin (who will also adapt novels I Was Here and Food Whore for the big screen). The first two episodes of the series will be directed by Taylor-Johnson.

Through a press release, Netflix announced the series will be produced by Rubin and Liza Chasin, whose credits also include the 2012 adaptation of hit musical Les Miserables, The Theory of Everything and Atonement.

Executive producers will include Watts, Coen brothers collaborators Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner as well as Andrew Stearn, and the series is expected to premiere on Netflix at some point of 2017.

Watts, whose star-making role was in Australian series Sleepwalker, is going back to television in a bang with two projects next year: besides starring in Gypsy, she's also teaming up with her Mulholland Dr. director David Lynch as part of the cast of the upcoming Showtime revival of 90s cult show Twin Peaks.

Watts joins a myriad of Hollywood movie stars who are taking television projects in various mediums, notably Netflix, which has snagged actors like two-time Academy Award winner Kevin Spacey, and HBO, with projects like the upcoming Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon-starring Big Little Lies.
