Netflix announced on Thursday that Meryl Streep will star in a miniseries based on Jonathan Franzen's novel 'The Corrections'. The project will be produced by Paramount Television Studios, directed by Cord Jefferson ('Watchmen'), and written by Franzen, who will also be an executive producer alongside Streep.
"'The Corrections' is a biting comedy portrait of a Midwestern family whose three adult children, aimless, desperately resist their mother's desire to have one last Christmas together, each undone by the illusory ambitions that were supposed to save them from becoming their parents," reads the statement published on Netflix's Tudum website.
Streep will play Enid, a woman who has to deal with her husband Alfred's dementia and the depression and issues her children are going through. So far, the three-time Oscar winner is the only one confirmed for the cast.
Currently, Streep is working on the press tour for the film 'The Devil Wears Prada 2', in which she plays the iconic Miranda Priestly, and which will hit theaters on May 1.
