Lizzy Caplan Joins Octavia Spencer for Apple's ARE YOU SLEEPING

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Lizzy Caplan has signed on to co-star in the tech giant's drama Are You Sleeping.

Are You Sleeping offers a glimpse into America's obsession with true-crime podcasts. It challenges viewers to consider the consequences when the pursuit of justice is put on a public stage.

Emmy-nominated Caplan will play twin sisters Josie and Lanie, whose lives have taken very different paths. The Cloverfield and Mean Girls grad will star opposite Octavia Spencer (Hidden Figures, Shape of Water) in the drama from creator Nichelle Tramble Spellman (The Good Wife, Justified).

Spellman penned the script and serves as showrunner. Reese Witherspoon will executive produce alongside her Hello Sunshine partner Lauren Neustadter, with Chernin Entertainment's Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping and Kristen Campo overseeing for the recently launched Chernin/Endeavor Content banner. Spencer and Tramble will also exec produce. Sarah Koenig (Serial) was a consultant on the project during its development but is no longer attached to the series.

Caplan is best known for her roles in films Mean Girls (2004) and Cloverfield (2008), the latter earned her a nomination for the Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress. Caplan has also starred in the television shows The Class, True Blood, and Party Down. She starred as Virginia Johnson in the Showtime series Masters of Sex, for which she was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award, Satellite Award and Critics' Choice Television Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. Her other film appearances include Hot Tub Time Machine (2010), 127 Hours (2010), Save the Date (2012), Bachelorette (2012), The Interview (2014), Now You See Me 2 (2016), and Allied (2016).
