Amy joins Emilia in The Retrievals

The Office actor Amy Ryan is set to feature alongside Emilia Jones in the OTT series The Retrievals.

The series is created by Molly Smith Metzler and is an adaptation of the New York Times and Serial Productions podcast hosted by Susan Burton. It follows an unlikely community of IVF patients who come together to crusade against Yale University after they are operated on without anaesthesia–because a nurse stole their fentanyl. The actor will essay the role of Carla Russo, a veteran nurse at Yale Fertility Center who pleads guilty to diverting vast amounts of fentanyl and diluting it with saline, forcing many patients to endure egg retrieval surgery without anaesthesia. 

Jones features as Gabby Clemente, a New Haven bartender and student teacher whose life is upended by a traumatic egg retrieval surgery.
