Inspired by Stephanie Land's best-selling memoir Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother's Will to Survive, Netflix's upcoming limited series MAID is the story of a mother trying to create a better life for her child. When Alex (Margaret Qualley) escapes an abusive relationship and takes her young daughter Maddy (Rylea Nevaeh Whittet) with her, she takes a job as a maid in order to avoid homelessness and provide for Maddy as best she can.

MAID also stars Nick Robinson, Anika Noni Rose, Tracy Vilar, Billy Burke, and Andie MacDowell.
