Akiva Goldsman (“A Beautiful Mind” “Fringe”) served as writer, executive producer, and Kornél Mundruczó (“Pieces of a Woman”) directed the 10-episode.

Billy Milligan was the first person in American history to be acquitted of a felony with multiple personality disorder, now known as dissociative identity disorder.

Tom Holland plays an original Billy Milligan-inspired character – mentally ill Danny Sullivan, and Emmy Rossum plays his mother, Candy, who seeks out others to fulfill her redemptive dreams.

Amanda Seyfried plays clinical psychologist Rya, who is facing the most challenging case of her career while Rya struggles to balance life as a single mother.
