She has flashbacks to her troubled childhood in the small town of Wind Gap, Missouri. Her editor, Frank Curry, orders her to return to Wind Gap, where a 13 - year old girl, Ann Nash, was murdered the previous summer, and another, 14 - year - old Natalie Keene, is missing. Camille 's flashbacks intensify when she returns and after a couple days, she goes to live with her socialite mother, Adora Crellin, stepfather, and half - sister, teenager Amma. She meets Detective Richard Willis during a search party. She then talks with Bob Nash about the disappearance of his daughter. Later that day Natalie Keene 's body is discovered in the alley behind the police station. Amma and Camille talk about their middle sister Marian, who had died when Camille was younger, and Amma secretly admits to disliking her mother 's treatment of her and behaves like a child to hide her rebellious side. During a bath, it is revealed that Camille has carved the word `` vanish '' into her arm. `` Dirt '' Jean - Marc Vallée Gillian Flynn July 15, 2018 ( 2018 - 07 - 15 ) 1.10 Richard wonders why Ann was found in the woods on the spot where she was killed, yet Natalie was discovered posed in the middle of town, her teeth yanked out with pliers. Camille sees Richard taking soil samples from Bob Nash 's tires. Adora, who has kept Marian 's room like a shrine, continues to belittle Camille, whom she accuses of embarrassing the family through her investigation. Camille thinks Natalie 's older brother, high school senior John, stands out in Wind Gap, and is told by neighborhood kids that `` The Woman in White '' took Natalie. Police Chief Bill Vickery implies that the boy who saw this is `` trash '' and ca n't be trusted. Camille says they used to scare each other with stories about the Woman in White abducting children but Vickery and Richard insist that Natalie and Ann were murdered by a man. Adora accuses Camille of being drunk at Natalie 's funeral and says that Natalie reminded her of Camille when she was young, and that she tried to help Natalie. `` Fix '' Jean - Marc Vallée Alex Metcalf July 22, 2018 ( 2018 - 07 - 22 ) 1.03 After a party, a drunk Amma crashes a golf cart into her mother 's rosebushes. Camille flashes back to her recent stay in a psychiatric facility, where she shared a room with a young woman named Alice. They become friends listening to Alice 's music, but Alice commits suicide by drinking drain cleaner and a devastated Camille slashes her own wrists. In the present, Camille interviews Bob Nash, who thinks John Keene was involved. Vickery calls Adora, who arrives and rebukes Camille while comforting Bob. Later, John Keene accuses Bob Nash of being involved. John 's girlfriend, Ashley Wheeler, is one of the few people friendly to Camille. After a conversation between Adora and Vickery, Adora warns Amma about Camille and that she is dangerous. Richard is frustrated by lack of cooperation from the public in Wind Gap and by Vickery belittling his belief that the murderer is from within the town. He tells Camille to stay out of his way. It is revealed that Adora also knew Ann and tutored her. `` Ripe '' Jean - Marc Vallée Vince Calandra July 29, 2018 ( 2018 - 07 - 29 ) 0.93 Camille attends a luncheon with Jackie and her other friends, where they discuss Bob Nash and John Keene. Soon after, she shows Richard around numerous crime scenes within Wind Gap before taking him to a hunting shed in the woods where high school jocks have sex with cheerleaders. A flashback shows Camille as a cheerleader being chased by a group of boys before seemingly being raped ; but in the present day asks Richard to sexually please her which he does and the two kiss afterwards. Amma is revealed to have created nasty posters of John Keene who is soon fired from his job at Adora 's hog factory because of his reputation. As Calhoun Day approaches, Amma practices for a play and flirts with her teacher privately. Alan snaps at Adora who soon talks with Camille about her disappointment that Camille went against her mother as a teenager before finally informing her that she smells `` ripe ''. That night, Camille learns from John Keene that Amma was close friends with Ann and Natalie. As a result, Camille has a disturbing vision of Amma dead in the hunting shed. 5 `` Closer '' Jean - Marc Vallée Scott Brown August 5, 2018 ( 2018 - 08 - 05 ) 1.17 Workers begin dressing up the backyard of Adora 's home for the Calhoun Day celebrations as Amma discovers Camille 's article about the murders. Angry, Amma steals Camille 's clothes in the dressing room when shopping for an outfit and Camille is forced to reveal her scars in front of Amma and her mother, who is hurt that she did it out of spite. A guilt - ridden Amma soon presents Camille with a dress and apologizes. During Calhoun Day, Richard notices Bob Nash heavily drinking at the party while Ashley confronts Camille for not including her in the article. Adora notices Camille talking with Richard and takes him on a private tour of the house where she tells him that Camille is dangerous. During the play, a fight emerges between Bob and John and a frightened Amma flees. The guests go on a search for Amma but Camille finds her injured in the shed and brings her home. Later that night, Adora explains to Camille why she never loved her. A distraught Camille flees and arrives at Richard 's motel and has sex with him. 6 `` Cherry '' Jean - Marc Vallée Dawn Kamoche & Ariella Blejer August 12, 2018 ( 2018 - 08 - 12 ) 1.13 Alan blames Camille for her mother 's illness and reprimands her for mentioning the dead girls and threatens to kick her out. Flashbacks show Camille as a cheerleader back in high school, during which her friends make nasty remarks about her period ; Becca, the only black girl, helps her and notices the word `` Cherry '' carved on her thigh. In present day, Camille joins her old friends for brunch and only connects with Becca. Richard digs into Camille 's past and visits the psychiatric hospital. That night as Camille purchases liquor, she finds Amma and her friends, who invite her to a party. There, John and Ashley show up but soon Amma and her friends drunkenly abuse the two, which causes them to leave. Amma convinces Camille to take OxyContin and ecstasy and the two of them roller skate through Wind Gap. The two return home and soon Amma begs to come with her to St. Louis. Amma and Camille pass out in Camille 's bedroom while Adora watches with sadness. 7 `` Falling '' Jean - Marc Vallée Gillian Flynn & Scott Brown August 19, 2018 ( 2018 - 08 - 19 ) 1.25 Camille wakes up to find herself in bed and being treated by Adora. Meanwhile, Richard continues into his investigation of Marian Preaker and discovers that she was actually poisoned by Adora, who likely has Munchausen syndrome by proxy. Under the pretense of medicine for her hangover, Adora similarly gives poison to Amma. As the police search for him, Camille discovers John Keene at a bar where the two talk before leaving for a motel room and having sex. Soon afterward, the police arrive and arrest John. Richard berates Camille after seeing her in bed with John, ending their relationship. Camille learns of her mother 's condition from Jackie, and also that Marian 's body was cremated to avoid suspicion. After leaving in a hurry, Camille breaks down to Curry and refuses his plea for her to return to St. Louis, intending instead to confront her mother. 8 `` Milk '' Jean - Marc Vallée Marti Noxon & Gillian Flynn August 26, 2018 ( 2018 - 08 - 26 ) 1.76 Camille returns home to find her family seated for dinner. She pretends to be sick to divert Adora 's attention away from Amma. Adora poisons Camille to the point of near - death. Richard knocks on the door and asks for Camille. Her stepfather states that she is at a girlfriend 's house. Richard arrives later with Curry and Chief Vickery, and Adora is arrested for poisoning her daughters. Richard finds bloody pliers that match the earlier murders and also discovers Camille 's self harming scars. While recovering at the hospital, Richard tells Camille that her mother was giving her rat poison which Amma had already built a tolerance towards over the years. Amma moves with Camille to St. Louis and befriends a girl named Mae who goes missing one day. Camille finds a tooth inside Amma 's dollhouse and realizes the floor of one room is made entirely of teeth ( mimicking the ivory floors in Adora 's bedroom ). Amma sees Camille looking at the tooth and tells her, `` Do n't tell Mama. '' In a mid-credits scene, Amma is revealed to be the killer as she is seen with her friends strangling Ann in the woods and Natalie in the Wheeler family carriage house, because she was jealous of the attention Adora gave them. Additionally, she is also seen killing Mae, as earlier Amma accused her of trying to impress and get Camille 's attention by her career choice. A brief post-credits scene shows Amma standing at the edge of the woods in a white dress, confirming that she, and not Adora, was the `` Woman In White '' seen by James Capisi. Production Development In 2008, it was reported that Gillian Flynn 's novel Sharp Objects was in development by French production company Pathé with Andrea Arnold set to direct. By 2012, it was reported that the novel had been optioned by Alliance Films with Jason Blum expected to serve as a producer. Subsequently, Marti Noxon approached Blum with her vision for an eight episode television series. On July 8, 2014, it was announced that Blumhouse Productions and Entertainment One would be developing and producing a drama based on the debut novel from Gillian Flynn. Marti Noxon would serve as the showrunner, writer and executive producer, while Jean - Marc Vallée would serve as the director and executive producer. On April 1, 2016, it was announced that HBO had given the production an eight episode straight - to - series order. On May 15, 2018, it was announced that the series would premiere on July 8, 2018. On July 25, 2018, HBO president of programming Casey Bloys confirmed that, unlike other HBO series Big Little Lies which was originally ordered as a limited series before being renewed for a second season, Sharp Objects will not return for more episodes following its limited run. Casting On February 19, 2016, Variety reported that Amy Adams had joined the project as its lead. In March 2017, it was announced that Patricia Clarkson, Eliza Scanlen, Elizabeth Perkins, Madison Davenport, Chris Messina, Matt Craven, and Taylor John Smith had been cast in series regular roles. It was also announced that Will Chase, Jackson Hurst, and Jennifer Aspen had joined the cast in a recurring capacity. On May 22, 2017, it was announced that David Sullivan, Reagan Pasternak, Sydney Sweeney, Hilary Ward, and Sophia Lillis had been cast in recurring roles. Filming Principal photography for the series commenced on March 6, 2017. Filming locations included Barnesville, Georgia ; Los Angeles, California ; Redwood Valley, California ; Santa Clarita, California ; and Mendocino, California. It was reported that there was a fair amount of turmoil on the set of the series. Showrunner Noxon described the alleged `` toe - to - toe screaming matches '' she and the other producers would get into with director Vallée over his refusal to adhere closely to the series ' scripts. Noxon has described Vallée as `` much more interested in imagery and telling stories through pictures, and he 's brilliant at that... but I love language... I studied theatre at Wesleyan before I became a writer, and the beauty of language, particularly in the Southern Gothic tradition, is so important to me. '' Noxon together with Gillian Flynn, Jessica Rhoades, Amy Adams, and another male producer would reportedly have to pressure Vallée to include the dialogue of the script in his scenes, to his displeasure. Music Each episode features a title sequence with a different interpretation of the song `` Dance and Angela '' by Franz Waxman from the score of the 1951 film A Place in the Sun. An electronic treatment of the song, by Jeffrey Brodsky, was used for the second episode. All music featured in the series is diegetic, coming from a source ( a stereo, headphones, etc. ) within the scene. The series secured the rights to four songs by Led Zeppelin, a band which is notoriously hard to get the rights for. Music supervisor Susan Jacobs stated, `` We were trying to explain the importance of what music really does and how it plays a really pivotal role in this girl 's life '' and `` also the escapism idea of music. '' The band liked the idea and approved the usage of their music. Release Promotional poster featuring Camille Preaker ( Amy Adams ), Amma Crellin ( Eliza Scanlen ), and Adora Crellin ( Patricia Clarkson ).

Premiere On June 7, 2018, the series held its world premiere during the opening night screening at the annual ATX Television Festival in Austin, Texas.
