Kaitlyn Dever Lands Role In New Hulu Limited Series
Kaitlyn Dever has landed a new role! The young actress is set to star in this new limited series, based on Beth Macy’s bestselling book, alongside Michael Keaton.
According to Deadline, “Dopesick is described as an ambitious, harrowing and compelling look into the epicenter of America’s struggle with opioid addiction. It takes viewers from a distressed Virginia mining community to the hallways of the DEA and to the opulence of ‘one percenter’ Big Pharma Manhattan. The unsparing yet deeply human portraits of the various affected families and their intersecting stories hold up a mirror to where America is right now, while shining a hopeful light on the heroes battling the worst drug epidemic in American history.”
The site goes on to say, “Dever will play Betsy, a proud female coal miner and patient of Keaton’s Dr. Finnix. They have a close relationship that gets tested with the release of the new painkiller, OxyContin.”
Hulu’s eight-episode limited series is set to debut in 2021.
