Kaia Gerber Breaks Down That Wild 'Shards' Ending—and Won't Say Who the Killer Is

The model-turned-actor went full Shelley Duvall in Ryan Murphy's Bret Easton Ellis adaptation.

Kaia Gerber is keeping her mouth shut about who actually did it. Fresh off the first season of Ryan Murphy's The Shards—the adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis' novel that's got everyone theorizing about the killer's identity—the model-turned-actor sat down to talk about that cliffhanger ending and why she's not spilling tea on whodunit just yet.

Gerber plays Susan, the queen-bee high schooler sitting right in the middle of all the chaos. According to her, the finale leaves just enough breadcrumbs to make you question damn near everyone, but she's locked in on Murphy's vision. The actress also opened up about bringing that Shelley Duvall energy from The Shining to a particular scream-queen moment—the kind of scene that sticks with you after the credits roll.

What's clear is that Gerber understands the assignment. She's not here to spoil the mystery or play armchair detective in interviews. She's letting the work speak, and apparently the work has people shook. Whether Murphy plans to answer these questions in season two or just keep the speculation machine running indefinitely remains to be seen—but Gerber's already proved she can handle the pressure.
