Her return to the small screen will see her portray one of her darkest characters to date.
And Jessica Biel proved there's no scene she'll shy away from as she made her acting prowess clear for all to see during the debut of chilling new thriller The Sinner on Wednesday night.
Kicking off the hotly-anticipated American series, the 35-year-old star stripped off for raunchy sex scenes, before murdering a man in cold blood.
Though that was just one in a flurry of bold scenes, as the star also bared her naked rear as she washed her blood-drenched body after violently stabbing a man to death.
Like a good Colombo mystery the USA series lets you know who the murderer is in the very first scenes.
Biel plays Cora Tannetti, a depressed woman, who seemingly out of nowhere kills a man in front of her son and husband.
The detective trying to solve the crime is Harry Ambrose (capably played by veteran Bill Pullman).
It will take all eight episodes of the mini-series to learn why she murdered this man.
'I have challenges standing up for myself sometimes. Times when I don't trust my own voice. And that's the stuff I needed to bring out and explore to understand Cora,' Jessica recently explained to Marie Claire.
'It's like a drug, like an adrenaline rush. There's a real catharsis…you're exhausted, you are free; you feel a lot of different things. For me, it's like a rebirth. Like I'm a phoenix rising up out of the ashes.'
