Chloë Sevigny is to star in Luca Guadagnino’s forthcoming HBO/Sky drama We Are Who We Are. The actress, who recently starred in Jim Jarmusch’s The Dead Don’t Die and Hulu’s The Act, is one of a number of cast including a slew of newcomers for the series, which shoots in Italy later this month.
The show, which Suspiria director Guadagnino will write, direct and showrun, is a coming of age story about two American teenagers who, along with their military and civilian parents, are living on an American military base in Italy. The series centers on friendship, first-love and all the unknowns of being a teenager, which could happen anywhere, but in this case, happens to be in this little slice of America in Italy.
