Netflix today has released the first trailer and announced an August air date for dark, twisted revenge comedy ‘Insatiable‘, starring Debby Ryan, Dallas Roberts, and Alyssa Milano.
For years, Patty (Ryan) has been bullied, ignored, and underestimated by those around her because of her weight. But now that she finds herself suddenly thin, Patty is out for payback against anyone who has ever made her feel bad about herself. Bob Armstrong (Roberts), a disgraced attorney whose true passion is coaching beauty pageant contestants, is the only one who sees Patty’s potential, and takes her under his wing – first as a legal client, and then as a pageant contestant whom he coaches toward becoming the top pageant queen in the country. But Bob and his wife Coralee (Milano) have no idea how deep Patty’s rage goes, or how far she will go to exact revenge on anyone who has ever wronged her. Bullies beware: payback’s a bitch revenge is sweet and if you cross Patty, you’ll be her next treat.
The cast also includes Christopher Gorham (‘2 Broke Girls’, ‘Covert Affairs’, ‘Ugly Betty’) as Bob Barnard, Erinn Westbrook (‘Awkward’, ‘Glee’) as Magnolia Barnard, Michael Provost (‘Chance’) as Brick Armstrong, Kimmy Shields (‘Big Little Lies’) as Nonnie, Irene Choi (‘Community’) as Dixie Sinclair, and Sarah Colonna (‘Scare Tactics’, ‘Killing Hasselhoff’) as Angie.
The show, which comes from ‘Dexter’ writer/co-producer Lauren Gussis, was originally developed for The CW, but ended up landing at Netflix after the network passed on the project. It’s exec produced by Gussis, Ryan Seacrest, Nina Wass (‘Shades of Blue’), Andrea Shay, Todd Hoffman, Dennis Kim and Andy Fleming.
‘Insatiable‘ premieres on Netflix globally from Friday, 10th August, 2018.
