Sandra Oh has been tapped to star in a new dramedy from Amanda Peet for Netflix. Oh will lead the new series titled The Chair. 

The six-episode half-hour series is “centered around the Chair of an English department at a major university,” played by Oh according to the streamer. Also attached to star is Jay Duplass in an unspecified role.

Oh will also executive produce alongside series writer and showrunner Peet. Peet co-wrote the script alongside screenwriter Annie Julia Wyman. 

Peet is best known for her acting roles including Brockmire, The Romanoffs as well as roles in Saving Silverman, Something’s Gotta Give, and Jack & Jill.

Peet and Slater will take over as leads in the forthcoming second season of the true-crime anthology. Season one starred Connie Briton and Eric Bana. 

Subtitled The Betty Broderick Story season two will chronicle one of “America’s messiest divorces” — an infamous and deadly divorce case in which a Southern California wife murders her husband and his mistress-turned-wife in 1989.

According to Variety, Peet will play Broderick, the perfect Southern California blonde wife and mother married to her college boyfriend Dan (Slater). “After years of sacrifice and suffering while supporting Dan through both medical and law school until he exploded into the San Diego legal community as a superstar, Betty is finally enjoying the fruits of their labors. That is until Dan hires Linda, a bright, beautiful young woman with whom he can happily forget the struggles of his past.”

“The first season of Dirty John was a story of twisted love and coercive control — and both these insidious elements are also present in and integral to the story of Betty Broderick, whom I have wanted to write about since I became a writer,” said series creator Alexandra Cunningham in a statement. “I can’t wait to see Amanda and Christian bring it to life.”
