Storyline
A heartbroken woman named Anna (Kristen Bell) is unsure of whether or not she witnessed a murder. She mixes alcohol with medications prescribed by her therapist, has frequent hallucinations, and suffers from a crippling fear of the rain (ombrophobia). Anna is ostracized by members of her community, including her new neighbors, and labeled “crazy” by the police. Regardless of whether or not she saw a murder take place, Anna takes it upon herself to find the truth.
About The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window TV Series
The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window (commonly abbreviated as TWITHATSFTGITW) is an American black comedy miniseries created by Rachel Ramras, Hugh Davidson, and Larry Dorf for Netflix. Starring Kristen Bell, Michael Ealy, Tom Riley, Mary Holland, Cameron Britton, Shelley Hennig, and Samsara Yett, it is primarily a parody of mystery psychological thrillers.
On October 20, 2020, Netflix gave the production a limited series order consisting of eight episodes. The miniseries executive produced by Kristen Bell (who also stars), Will Ferrell, Jessica Elbaum, and Brittney Segal. Gloria Sanchez Productions is involved with producing the miniseries. The creators had to cancel different ideas in their drafts for getting a comfortable shoot during the COVID-19 pandemic, and Ferrell was supervising them online through Zoom conversations.
On February 19, 2021, Tom Riley joined the main cast. On March 2, 2021, Mary Holland, Shelley Hennig, Christina Anthony, Samsara Yett, Cameron Britton, and Benjamin Levy Aguilar were cast in starring roles. On November 10, 2021, it was reported Mthat ichael Ealy was cast to star as a lead. Glenn Close revealed that she joined the cast on one request only, while the character’s background was not decided yet.
Principal photography took place in Los Angeles between March and May 2021.
While filming, hibiscus tea was used in place of red wine. Bell and Ealy had a five-minute dance sequence which was cut from the release. Bell and Yett filmed much of their fight scene themselves, but they did rely on stunt doubles for certain scenes. The rain sequences required Bell to act in 50 °F (10 °C) temperature. While Bell said she has no idea about a sequel after the cliffhanger, the creators however, hinted that they are discussing for a possible sequel when they were asked about the casting of Close.
The series is inspired by A. J. Finn’s The Woman in the Window, Paula Hawkins’s The Girl on the Train, Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca, Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window, and Gillian Flynn’s Sharp Objects. Bell’s detective role in the series is also influenced by her former character, Veronica Mars, and she also covered the rhyme “Rain Rain Go Away” for the opening theme.
