“She’s only got a year left…”: This 2-Oscar-winning actor is set to star in a detective series, and his pitch is already making us want to

Renee Zellweger will see us in 2025 in cinemas to discover the new part of Bridget Jones, but also in a small window to enjoy her next series.

The 55-year-old actor will soon star in Jane Smith, a police and legal series produced by Max Platform, which he also produces. It is an adaptation of James Patterson and Mike Lupica’s bestseller “12 Months in the Life” and whose catch It is especially effective: “He’s an ex-cop turned lawyer. He only has a year left…if we don’t kill him first.

Her character Jane Smith’s life is cut short the day she learns she has a brain tumor. In an accident, the lawyer finds himself at the center of a particularly high-profile trial. Her client, the most charming man, could be a serial killer…

If we don’t know exactly why our hero might die before the cancer takes him, we imagine that he will be at the center of a conspiracy that will defeat him.

The beginning of a successful saga?

Not much is currently known about Jane Smith following the current trend. After the success of Suits on several streaming platforms in 2023, the giants of the industry rushed to each create their own legal series. For example, on Netflix, The Lincoln Defense is especially appreciated by subscribers.

As for Max, they have a lot in common with this new run: James Patterson and Mike Lupica are set to release the second volume in 2024, which will allow Warners to release Season 2.

Good news for Renee Zellweger, much more cautious in recent years in film and television. Her most recent series, The Thing About Pam (2022), received relatively lukewarm reviews and was reconciled to the small screen, following the failure of What/If on Netflix.

2025 should be his.
