In an exciting development for British television, Academy Award-winning actress Glenn Close will star in a new six-part series titled Maud. The series, produced by Channel 4, Sony, and Playground, is set to be filmed later this year and will air on Channel 4 next year.

The series is based on the books "An Elderly Lady Is Up To No Good" and "An Elderly Lady Must Not Be Crossed" by Helene Tursten. The original setting of the stories is Sweden, but for the television series, it is being moved to the UK.

Maud Oldcastle, the central character, is described as hilariously brusque, cantankerous, ruthless, and with nice qualities that include being a serial killer with a tortured past. At 88 years old, Maud seeks to break from a lifetime spent caring for her sister and claim a long-overdue second act. However, her actions may attract the attention of a suspicious detective and an unrelenting world built for youth.

Glenn Close, who will play Maud Oldcastle, expressed her excitement about working on the series, praising the writing and stating that Maud Oldcastle is not like any character she has played before. The tone of the stories is light-hearted and fun, providing a unique blend of drama and comedy.

The series Maud is currently under the working title of Maud. It is being shot in London, and there is no available information about its director at this time. The books upon which the series is based were first published in 2018.

While there is no available information about a series named "Maud" with Glenn Close playing Maud Oldcastle, or about its director, the anticipation for this dark comedy drama is growing. With Glenn Close's impressive acting skills and the intriguing plot of Maud, this series promises to be a captivating addition to Channel 4's lineup.
