Blake Jenner is joining the cast of Netflix’s What/If, a new series described as a social thriller. Jenner joins Renee Zellweger (Same Kind of Different As Me) and Jane Levy (Castle Rock) who were previously announced to star in the series. What/If marks Oscar winner Zellweger’s (Best Actress in a Supporting Role in Cold Mountain) first starring role in a television series.
The series was created by Mike Kelley (Revenge, Swingtown). Kelley will serve as the showrunner and will executive produce along with Melissa Loy, Alex Gartner, Charles Roven, Robert Zemeckis, and Jack Rapke.
According to Netflix, the first season will consist of 10 one-hour episodes. Netflix hasn’t announced when filming will get underway or when we can expect the series to premiere.
The What/If Plot: Social thriller What/If explores the ripple effects of what happens when acceptable people start doing unacceptable things. Each season will tackle a different morality tale inspired by culturally consequential source material, and the power of a single fateful decision to change the trajectory of an entire life.
The series stars Renée Zellweger (Jerry Maguire, Chicago, the Bridget Jones movies) in the role of Anne. Blake Jenner will play Sean.
