DTF St. Louis is about "a love triangle between three adults experiencing middle-age malaise, that leads to one of them ending up dead," according to HBO's logline. Cardellini will play a character named Carol, but other details — including whether she or her two co-stars make up the aforementioned love triangle — are being kept under wraps. The series is currently in preproduction.
The series was in development for more than two years before HBO gave it a series order. It was originally titled My Dentist's Murder Trial and based on a 2017 New Yorker story by James Lasdun. At the time, Harbour and Pedro Pascal were attached to star. Pascal later exited the project, which has evolved into an original story not based on the magazine piece.
Conrad executive produces DTF St. Louis with Bateman and Michael Costigan of Aggregate Films; Harbour; Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal and Steve Tisch of Escape Artists; Molly Allen; Bruce Terris; Kristina Wenson of Bravo Axolotl; and MGM Television.
Cardellini currently stars in Hulu's holiday film Nutcrackers and will next be seen in Netflix's No Good Deed , which premieres Dec. 12. She earned a pair of Emmy nominations for Netflix's Dead to Me ; other recent credits include voice work on Max's Creature Commandos , Marvel's Hawkeye on Disney+ and A Simple Favor . She is repped by CAA, Shelter and Jackoway Tyerman.
