Netflix has dropped the official trailer for their new limited series Maid. And boy, does it look like its going to be one heck of a tearjerker. The series is created by Molly Smith Metzler (Shameless, Orange is the New Black) and executive-produced by John Wells (August: Osage County, Shameless) and none other than Margot Robbie. It stars Margaret Qualley, Nick Robinson, Anika Noni Rose, Tracy Vilar, Billy Burke and Andie MacDowell. The series is:

Inspired by the New York Times best-selling memoir, Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother’s Will to Survive by Stephanie Land, MAID follows the story of Alex, a single mother who turns to housecleaning to — barely — make ends meet as she escapes an abusive relationship and overcomes homelessness to create a better life for her daughter, Maddy. Seen through the emotional yet humorous lens of a desperate, but determined woman… This series is a raw and inspiring exploration of a mother’s resilience.

The limited series will consist of ten episodes and will be streaming exclusively on Netflix October 1, 2021.

CHECK OUT THE OFFICIAL TRAILER NOW:

This new limited series looks to be a hard-hitting emotional journey. I am not familiar with the source material. but this trailer has definitely sold me. The cast is fantastic, with Margaret Qualley looking to steal ever scene she is in with a career-defining performance. And I am a huge fan of John Wells; who gave us one of my favorite series of all-time with Shameless. Hopefully, the show will be just as powerful as this official trailer.
