Deadline reports that Gugu will play “Detective Reese Rezek, who obsessively investigates the brutal murders of Nancy and Derek Haysom, a seemingly ordinary couple in suburban Virginia.

Before they can be arrested, the young couple flees for Europe, drawing Reese into an international manhunt and a years-long search for the truth that spanned from 1985-91.”

Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Keeley Hawes, Keira Knightley, and Suki Waterhouse walk the red carpet together at the premiere of their new movie Misbehaviour on Monday (March 9) at The Ham Yard Hotel in London, England.

The actresses were joined at the event by co-stars Emma Corrin, Clara Rosager, Loreece Harrison, and director Philippa Lowthorpe.

The movie follows the Miss World competition in 1970, where the newly formed Women’s Liberation Movement achieved overnight fame by invading the stage and disrupting the live broadcast of the competition. At the event, Miss Grenada also became the first black woman to be crowned Miss World and in a matter of hours, a global audience had witnessed the patriarchy driven from the stage and the Western ideal of beauty turned on its head.

FYI: Keira is wearing a Chanel dress and Roger Vivier shoes. Gugu is wearing an Emilia Wickstead dress. Suki is wearing a Reem Acra gown.
