Toni Collette will play Kathleen Peterson.
Sophie Turner and Odessa Young will play Michael Petersons adopted daughters, Margaret and Martha Ratliff.

Other than casting news, there arent a lot of details about how this limited series will play out.

This means that the series will likely feel like a court room drama.
We may see Toni Collette as Kathleen Peterson only through flashbacks.
The 8-episode series will likely not premiere until 2022.
