Netflix Greenlights Renee Zellweger Series ‘What/If’

Each season depicts a different morality tale inspired by culturally consequential source material, and shows how a single decision can change the trajectory of an entire life.

Zellweger’s film credits include Jerry Maguire, Chicago and the Bridget Jones movies.
