I love a whodunit.
Jessica Biel and Elizabeth Banks.
And whats fun about the series is that were all chess pieces getting moved around.
Each episode sort of explores the level of control each person has at any given time.
That tragedy is the death of Chloes handsome lawyer husband, Adam (Corey Stoll).

Meanwhile, Chloes estranged sister, Nicky, has been struggling to make ends meet and stay clean.
At every stage, I have marveled at the creativity and talent brought to this project.
I cannot wait for everyone to have a chance to watch these episodes.
Jessica Biel inThe Better Sister
The sibling dynamic was a major reason that Banks and Biel wanted to come on board.
I dont even have a sister in real life, [but] I have all these chosen sisters.
I was always trying to explore how I could go even deeper and make it even more raw.

Theres an opportunity to be really ugly honest.
At every corner there was something new to be challenged by.
I mean, the things that theyve done to each other are biblically horrible.

Who is the better sister then?
Its all very fluid and ongoing.
The question is answered and unanswered and answerable and unanswerable.

Have Jessica Biel and Elizabeth Banks ever worked together?
I remember thinking, What a compliment to look like Jessica Biel; shes an incredible-looking human being.
In fact, Biel says that her resemblance to Banks is definitely something Ive heard over the years.
I was looking at the wall like, Holy shit, we look a lot alike.
It was weird, I didnt even really realize it myself.
Did Jessica Biel cut her hair to play Chloe?
Remember that Instagram videoBiel posted last Maywhen she tugged on her hair to reveal a blunt bob?
Eventually, though, Biel decided to go through with it because its just who Chloe is.
I thought, Okay, well, fuck it, lets go.
Let’s just cut it.
It was fun, Biel says, looking back.
I think I felt, why didnt I do this sooner?
You dont feel your hair on your shoulders anymore…like youre floating almost.
It didnt scare me at all.
I felt like, Oh, thats who I am.

Honestly, I just wanted to be the exact opposite of that.
How did Elizabeth Banks prep for the role?
I got work sober for three months, Banks tellsGlamourof her decision to give up drinking for a time.
That was the connection point that I wanted to have with my character, Nicky.
In fact, Biel initially read for the role of Nicky.
I met with Craig, our director, initially talking about Nicky.
A couple days later I got a call from the studio saying, Wed love you to do Chloe.
I was like, Wait, what?
It was this total switcheroo, and then I had to relook at it for the Chloe character.
She has that kind of edge to her that was so natural to Nicky.
Me playing Nicky wouldve been a very different kind of thing.
