Starz has just released the first trailer for the new series Flesh and Bone starring Sarah Hay and Ben Daniels. The drama series set in the world of ballet is written and executive produced by Moira Walley-Beckett (Breaking Bad) and will premiere on Starz on November 8, 2015.
The first episode of the eight-hour limited series was directed by David Michod (Animal Kingdom), with John Melfi, Lawrence Bender, and Kevin Brown serving as executive producers.
Additional cast members include Josh Helman, Damon Herriman, Tina Benko, Tovah Feldshuh, Emily Tyra, former American Ballet Theatre principal dancer Irina Dvorovenko, former American Ballet Theatre soloist Sascha Radetsky, and Ballet Arizona company dancer Raychel Diane Weiner.
The Plot:
Flesh and Bone follows a young dancer with a distinctly troubled past as she joins a prestigious ballet company in New York. The dark, gritty, complex series unflinchingly explores New York City through the eyes of Claire, played by Sarah Hay, an emotionally wounded but transcendent ballerina navigating the dysfunction and glamour of the ballet world.
Claire’s self-destructive tendencies amid her vaulting ambitions drive her in compelling, unforeseeable ways, especially when she is confronted with the machinations of the company’s mercurial Artistic Director, played by Ben Daniels and an unwelcome visitor from her past.
