Cast

In August 2010, it was announced that Graham King would produce Unforgiven, a feature film adaptation of the 2009 British miniseries of the same name, through his GK Films banner. Christopher McQuarrie was hired to write the screenplay, which was being tailored for Angelina Jolie to play the lead role. In November 2011, Scott Frank was hired to rewrite and direct Unforgiven, as McQuarrie was busy directing Jack Reacher. In June 2013, it was reported that McQuarrie had returned to the film as writer and director, and would also serve as a producer with King.
In November 2019, it was reported that Sandra Bullock would star in the then-untitled film. She would also serve as a producer through her company Fortis Films. Veronica Ferres would also produce through her company Construction Film. Nora Fingscheidt replaced McQuarrie as director, and Netflix would distribute. In December 2019, Viola Davis, Aisling Franciosi and Rob Morgan joined the cast of the film. In February 2020, Vincent D'Onofrio, Jon Bernthal, Richard Thomas, Linda Emond and Emma Nelson joined the cast of the film.
