Claire Danes' Vulnerable Role in Netflix's Lovesick

0:00On April 29th, Claire Danes is jumping back into Netflix with a fresh drama called Love Sick. It's a straight-to-series green light, and she'll play Anika, a top breast cancer surgeon who suddenly faces her own diagnosis. Her world collides with a new patient, Nate, who's a rising politician full of promise. The brains behind it is Sarah Tream, who created and wrote The Affair. She's also executive-producing, and she breaks down the show as tackling big stuff, like life, death, kids, love, hitting middle age, raw courage, science, and faith. Tream couldn't be more hyped about teaming up with Danes, calling her a genius they've wanted to work with forever. Anika feels like the perfect role, blending their wildest ideas into one intense character. Danes is exec-producing too, but she's the only cast locked in right now. No release date yet, though she's fresh off that Netflix mini-series The Beast and Me with Matthew Reese. Word on the street is, this could be Danes at her most vulnerable, blending heart and grit in ways we haven't seen.
