‘Trust’ adapts Hernan Diaz’s Pulitzer Prize-winning 2023 novel, which tells its story from multiple, competing perspectives.

A 1920s Wall Street tycoon amasses a sudden fortune but loses a beloved wife. Decades later, his attempts to control the narrative of his life are undone by a biographer who uncovers the ultimate secrets of the legendary marriage.

The actor will also be an executive producer on the new show alongside Christine Vachon and Pamela Koffler of Killer Films.

Haynes plans to direct the series.

While making it clear that there is nothing official yet, Winslet has admitted to Variety that discussions are ongoing for a potential follow-up to 2021’s crime drama ‘Mare of Easttown’.

The series, which followed the story of smalltown Pennsylvania police detective Mare Sheehan (Winslet), who juggles a murder case while dealing with grief and complicated family dynamics.

Here’s what Winslet said about the current status:

“We did run to have discussions about a Season 2. But it did feel too soon. While there’s nothing in the works, we are having early discussions about whether it might be time to start thinking of building something. We might be willing to figure out with Mare, years later, picking her up — not on the heels of where she ended, but there have been years for the character that have passed. Who is she now?”

Executives have said that they’re going to be speaking to Winslet (who was an executive producer) and creator Brad Ingelsby about potential ideas soon, but the actor has yet to commit to anything solid.

When will ‘Trust’ be on screens?

There is no information yet on when the new limited series will be on HBO. It already carries ‘Mildred Pierce’ and ‘Mare of Easttown’ available to watch via Max.
