Sophie will play Margaret Ratliff, one of Michael Peterson's adopted daughters who is convinced of his innocence, in the series, reported Deadline.

Margaret and her sister Marth were adopted by Michael after their mother Elizabeth, a friend of the family, died in Germany, after also being found at the bottom of a staircase.

Antonio Campos of The Devil All the Time fame will direct six episodes of the series. He will also serve as writer and showrunner along with Maggie Cohn, known for her work on American Crime Story.
