Jessica Chastain reunites with Oscar Isaac in Scenes from a Marriage, replacing Michelle Williams

Deadline

The two-time Oscar nominee is reteaming with her Julliard classmate and A Most Violent Year co-star in the HBO limited series adaptation of Ingmar Bergman’s famous miniseries. She takes over the lead role from Williams, who had to exit over scheduling issues. The Affair co-creator Hagai Levi is behind Scenes From A Marriage. The limited series re-examines Bergman's iconic depiction of love, hatred, desire, monogamy, marriage and divorce through the lens of a contemporary American couple, played by Isaac and Chastain. This is the second limited series Chastain has joined in the past two months. Last month, she signed up to play country music legend Tammy Wynette in George & Tammy limited series from Spectrum Originals and Paramount Network.
