When Monday doesn’t come home one night, the sisters must figure out what happened to her without being caught by the Child Allocation Bureau. Willem Dafoe plays the sisters’ grandfather Terrence Settman, who hides and raises the young Settman girls (portrayed by Clara Read ), training them to survive together in a world hostile to them simply because they are siblings. ‘What Happened to Monday’ juggles nearly as many different genres as there are Settmans, combining dystopian sci-fi with government conspiracy, action thriller, and mystery.
From rebellious Thursday to introverted tech-genius Friday to blonde party girl Saturday, each of the Settman sisters is unique in the safety and confines of their shared home. Though Karen is crisply cohesive, the sisters’ true personalities run the gamut. Noomi Rapace stars at the seven Settman sisters, each named for the days of the week and who take turns wearing the mantle of high-powered banker Karen Settman.
