Actor Uma Thurman has been roped in by streaming giant Netflix to play the lead in its new drama series "Chambers".
The 10-episode series follows a young heart attack survivor become consumed by the mystery surrounding the heart that saved her life. However, the closer she gets to uncovering the truth about her donor's sudden death, the more she starts taking on the characteristics of the deceased -- some of which are troublingly sinister.
The "Kill Bill" star will portray the role of Nancy, the mother of a heart donor who forges a hesitant relationship with the young recipient only to find out her daughter may not be as dead as she thought, Netflix said in a statement.
Leah Rachel will serve as executive producer and co-showrunner alongside Akela Cooper. Rachel will also serve as writer on the project.
The series has been developed by Super Deluxe, the digital studio of Turner.
Thurman, 48, will be next seen in "Down a Dark Hall", and Tim Hill's "The War with Grandpa" opposite Robert De Niro.
