Based on Gone Girl author Gillian Flynn’s debut novel, starring Amy Adams, directed by Big Little Lies‘ Jean-Marc Vallée, and headed to HBO, Sharp Objects should be an obvious must-watch for anyone (come on, at least for an episode, right?). But if you need some more convincing, have a look at this first teaser trailer for the miniseries, which sees Adams as a reporter who, fresh out of a brief stint in a psych ward, is forced to return to her childhood home—and her neurotic mother—to cover a pair of murders in her hometown. Because is Gillian Flynn ever not a rollicking fun time?
You will be expected to be caught up weekly on Sharp Objects when it premieres in July.
