Claire Bartel is happily married and pregnant for the second time when she becomes the target of a dark plot on the part of a nanny — originally portrayed by Rebecca De Mornay, and now by Monroe.

Up next, he’ll be seen in a trio of indie thrillers — Cold Wallet, Push, and Barron’s Cove — as well as the anticipated HBO limited series Task from Mare of Easttown‘s Brad Ingelsby.
