Disney, NatGeo's seven-episode limited series is joined by Claire from The Morning Show, Bel Powley from The Diary of a Teenage Girl, Liev Schreiber who returns after The Scavengers, and Joe Cole who just finished The Ipcress Files, to retell the story of Miep Gies. Joan Rater and Tony Phelan from Grey's Anatomy will write the script for the series, and Susanna Fogel, who previously directed The Flight Attendant, has confirmed to direct several episodes. This time Bel will play the protagonist Miep, while Joe will play her husband Jan, and Liev will play Anne Frank's father Otto Frank. When Miep was in her twenties, she received a request from Otto, hoping to hide in her home to avoid the Nazi persecution of Jews at the time. Miep, her husband Jan, and others took on this burden without hesitation; in the next two years, they took care of eight refugees including Otto and Anne. Although the hiding plan failed in 1944, Otto properly preserved Anne's diary written by Anne during her hiding, and returned it to the only survivor Otto after the war, which became the most important record document since then. After World War II, Miep and Jan established a social group to assist those who returned after the war, and were committed to refuting some people's claims of diary fraud. In 2010, Miep died in Amsterdam at the age of 100. "More than 20,000 Dutch people helped hide Jews and others during the years when they needed to hide. I was just happy to do what I could to help. My husband was too. It's nothing." Miep once said.
