Amanda Seyfried to Star in Prime Video TV Show That HBO Max Passed On

Academy Award nominee Amanda Seyfried has signed on for the leading role in the upcoming series adaptation of Skinny Dip, based on Carl Hiaasen’s 2004 caper novel. Before Amazon MGM Studios acquired the project, it was originally set up at HBO Max earlier this year.

What do we know about Amanda Seyfried’s Skinny Dip show?

According to Deadline, Seyfried will be playing the role of Joey Perrone, a woman who is pushed off a cruise liner by her cheating husband. She managed to survive the fall, giving her a chance to plot revenge with a former cop. It is being written and executive-produced by Once Upon A Time creators Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis.

“Perrone’s second anniversary didn’t go quite as planned. She expected earrings, but instead, her husband Chaz had alternate plans,” reads the show’s logline. “After unexpectedly finding herself on the other side of those plans, she vows to get revenge. Teaming up with a disgraced ex-cop, Joey sets out to make Chaz pay.”

In addition to leading the cast, Seyfried is also serving as an executive producer along with Bill Lawrence for Doozer, Hiaasen, Jeff Ingold, and Liza Katzer. The Prime Video adaptation is a production by Warner Bros. Television.

Seyfriend’s most recent TV project was the Peacock miniseries Long Bright River, which debuted last March. She will next be seen in the psychological thriller The Housemaid with Sydney Sweeney and in the musical drama The Testament of Ann Lee with Lewis Pullman. The latter recently earned her a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy.
