We understand Milioti will play the sister of Olsen’s character in a leading role.
Seven Sisters is executive produced by Will Arbery, who wrote the pilot; Sean Durkin, who will direct it; and Garrett Basch. If the pilot goes forward, it would mark Basch’s fifth series for FX, where his company Dive has a long-standing first-look deal, following Devs, Reservation Dogs, What We Do in the Shadows and Sterlin Harjo’s upcoming Tulsa noir drama starring Ethan Hawke.
Milioti most recently starred opposite Colin Farrell in Matt Reeves’s HBO miniseries The Penguin, a spinoff from DC film The Batman. She will next be seen returning to Netflix’s Black Mirror in Season 7, appearing in the first-ever sequel, a continuation of the Season 4 episode “USS Callister.” Milioti will reprise her role of Nanette Cole alongside Jimmi Simpson and Billy Magnussen.
Her past credits include the Peacock anthology series The Resort, Max’s series Made for Love, FX’s Fargo from Noah Hawley, Amazon’s Modern Love and CBS’ How I Met Your Mother. For the big screen, she starred in Max Barbakow’s feature Palm Springs and Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street.
Milioti is represented by UTA.
