TVLine Items: Tatiana Maslany's Blackmail Series, Big Bang Vet Joins AMC Drama And More

Tatiana Maslany is starring in The Alison Hendrix Story Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed at Apple TV+.

The 10-episode series is described as "a half hour darkly comedic thriller about a newly divorced mom who falls down a dangerous rabbit hole of blackmail, murder, and youth soccer." (Can't you just see that becoming Alison's Orphan Black fate if she separated from Donnie?)

Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed hails from creator/showrunner David J. Rosen (Sugar, Hunters), who will executive-produce alongside Simon Kinberg and Audrey Chon (for Genre Films), and director David Gordon Green (Mythic Quest, The Righteous Gemstones).

In addition to her Emmy Award-winning work as a variety of clones on Orphan Black, Maslany's recent TV credits include She-Hulk: Attorney at Law and Perry Mason.
