"It's probably the hardest thing I've ever done, I think it's the hardest role I've ever played... There were so many things at play. You have so many pressures, the pressure of the family. The pressure of whether you're performing in the right way. I couldn't remember her voice, I couldn't remember what she sounded like," Wilson said about the series, which premiered on the Lionsgate Play on Friday.

"Very early on I decided that I wasn't even going to try and replicate her because I couldn't really bring her to mind, I didn't want to in some ways. And in essence we had created a fictional version of Alison, there are things in the script that she never referenced or wrote about in the memoir. That gave me the much-needed space to play her, she became a character like any other that I perform,” she added.
