The It: Chapter Two star has joined the new adaptation of Scenes From a Marriage.

Jessica Chastain boards HBO’s forthcoming limited series after Michelle Williams exited the project over scheduling issues. Chastain will star opposite Oscar Isaac.

The new version of Ingmar Bergman’s 1970s original miniseries will re-examine its depiction of love, hatred, desire, monogamy, marriage, and divorce through the lens of a contemporary American couple.

Hagai Levi will write, direct, and executive produce the limited series adaptation of Bergman’s classic. Chastain and Isaac will also executive produce in addition to starring. 

Chastain’s next projects include the female-led spy thriller The 355 and The Eyes of Tammy Faye.
