Bruccoleri previouslyteased what fans can expect.

"From a young age, she's seen as not having the same desirable qualities as her sisters," Bruccoleri told The Hollywood Reporter. "She comes to believe that she's innately unlovable. And then the minute that she steps away from her family, she begins to see things differently. I mean, she has setbacks all the time, but it's a story about the transformative power of kindness, really."

She continued: "It's disguised as a love story. I personally just don't see it that way. I think it's a love story between Mary and herself."

Bruccoleriwas excited to unpackthe role, adding, "With Mary, she doesn't understand the rules of the game. She tries incredibly hard to be something that is pleasing to other people. And she does that through study — really extensive study, because that's what she knows. That's how her brain works."

She added: "She studies how to be as appealing as her sisters, [and] to her mother, mainly. But just goes about it completely the wrong way. It still doesn't work. I think I really related to that in Mary, the industriousness of her. That's the way I approach my job as well as — I do it through study rather than instinct. And I can be quite obsessive with the amount that I prepare for something."

US Department of Homeland Security says Lewandowski has left after Noem's firing

By Nate Raymond

March 28 (Reuters) - Corey Lewandowski, who was an aide to former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, no ‌longer works at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, ‌a spokesperson for the agency said on Saturday.

Lewandowski "no longer has a role at DHS," ​the DHS spokesperson said, without providing further details. Lewandowski had been an unpaid adviser to Noem. He previously served as President Donald Trump's campaign manager in the 2016 election.

Lewandowski did not respond to ‌a request for comment. ⁠The department's confirmation of his departure was first reported by Politico.

Trump fired Noem earlier this month, saying ⁠she would become special envoy to a new "Shield of the Americas" initiative to promote his security policies in the Western Hemisphere. Noem has ​since been ​replaced as the head of ​DHS by former U.S. Senator ‌Markwayne Mullin, whom the Senate confirmed on Tuesday.

The close relationship between Lewandowski and Noem drew scrutiny. At a congressional hearing earlier this month, a Democratic lawmaker asked Noem directly whether she had a sexual relationship with Lewandowski — a question Noem dismissed as "tabloid garbage."

Lewandowski ‌appeared with Noem in photos released on ​Wednesday by the U.S. embassy in ​Guyana, which showed him ​by her side in meetings with Guyana's President Irfaan ‌Ali.

Noem, in her new role, ​reports to Deputy ​Secretary of State Christopher Landau. A State Department official earlier this week declined to explain to Reuters why Lewandowski was ​on the trip with ‌Noem but said he would not be joining the ​department in any capacity.
