NEW YORK, May 25 (UPI) -- Suddenly Susan and Lipstick Jungle alum Brooke Shields says the age difference between the two main characters in You're Killing Me offers as much insight as it does humor.
Airing on Acorn TV Mondays, the new series follows Shields' mystery writer Allie as she teams up with a 20-something-year-old, true-crime podcaster Andi (Amalia Williamson) to figure out who killed another author during a book convention in a small New England town.
"The generational gap between these two is something that I thought was really important to highlight. It can be very comedic. It gives you a lot to work with, but, also, my character Allie, doesn't have a daughter. She has a son," Shields, 60, told UPI in a recent Zoom interview.
"So, this is the first sort of female/maternal relationship that she's had and she doesn't want to project onto Andi, but she also wants to be able to share with her. She wants to help her. So, that's so layered in their relationship, which I think is just very touching and interesting. That's the heart, 'the feels' as they call this."
