Tatiana Maslany, Freya Mavor, Pilou Asbæk, and Ngozi Anyanwu are set to star in the AMC series ‘Invitation to a Bonfire’. The series is based on the novel by Adrienne Celt of the same name. The psychological thriller is set in the 1930s at an all-girls boarding school in New Jersey.
The series is created by Rachel Caris Love. Invitation to a Bonfire follows Zoya (Freya Mavor), a young Russian immigrant and groundskeeper, who is drawn into a lethal love triangle with the school’s newest faculty member — an enigmatic novelist, Leo (Pilou Asbæk)— and his bewitching wife (Maslany).
Tatiana Maslany will play the role of Vera Orlov, who is more than Leo’s wife; she is his editor—and his everything. Vera is inspired by Vera Nabokov. Tatiana also serves as the executive producer along with Robin Schwartz and Kyle Laursen.
“Tatiana is a singular talent who we’ve wanted to bring back to the AMC Networks family since her iconic and career-defining performance in Orphan Black, said Dan McDermott, AMC Networks’ President of Entertainment and AMC Studios. “We’re thrilled to have her join Invitation to a Bonfire’s talented cast and watch her bring to life the wild flame that is Vera Orlov, both on-screen and behind-the-scenes as an executive producer.”
Tatiana Maslany is a Canadian actress known for her Emmy-winning role in the TV series “Orphan Black.” Maslany has appeared in a variety of other TV shows and films, including “Parks and Recreation,” “Saving Hope,” “Stronger,” “Destroyer,” and “Perry Mason.” Recently, Maslany has been cast in the lead role of Jennifer Walters / She-Hulk for the Disney+ TV series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, which is streaming now on Disney+.
