\n\tGwyneth Paltrow<\/a> has taken her first-ever lead television role in an upcoming A24 drama series titled \u201cThe Apology,\u201d which has landed a two-season order at Netflix.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Oscar winner will play Evelyn Amspoker, whose son was murdered 18 years ago in a cold case that gripped the nation. \u201cWhen a stranger suddenly appears and confesses, justice finally seems possible,\u201d per the logline, until Evelyn and her husband, Caleb, learn the killer may get off with a reduced sentence. \u201cFaced with that unbearable truth, Evelyn and Caleb decide to take matters into their own hands.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe show hails from creator, showrunner and writer Joe Murtagh (\u201cThe Woman in the Wall\u201d) and director Thomas Vinterberg (\u201cAnother Round\u201d). Joe Hipps of Cut To executive produces alongside Murtagh, Vinterberg and Paltrow. A24 is the studio.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile Paltrow\u2019s filmography includes star-making turns in \u201cEmma,\u201d \u201cSliding Doors,\u201d Shakespeare in Love\u201d and \u201cThe Talented Mr. Ripley\u201d \u2014 as well as major roles in the \u201cIron Man\u201d franchise and \u201cMarty Supreme\u201d \u2014\u00a0her career on television is less illustrious. Paltrow had a five-episode run on \u201cGlee\u201d as Holly Holiday and had a supporting role in Ryan Murphy\u2019s Netflix series \u201cThe Politician.\u201d She has guest starred in random projects but has never led a small-screen title.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe ambitious two-season order for \u201cThe Apology\u201d comes amid an executive shake-up at Netflix, which followed an announcement that the company was laying off 6% of its employees. Chief content officer Bela Bajaria was ousted from the streamer last week and was replaced with Peter Rice, while head of film Dan Lin left the company on Monday morning. Meanwhile TV boss Jinny Howe, who oversees U.S. and Canada scripted series, has weathered the storm.<\/p>\n
