Renee Zellweger is attached to star in the NBC true crime story-inspired limited series “The Thing About Pam”.
The network has given a straight-to-series pickup for the six-episode project which hails from NBC’s long-running newsmagazine series “Dateline” and its companion podcast.
The story centers on the 2011 murder of Betsy Faria. Betsy’s husband was convicted of the crime but insisted he was innocent and later had his conviction overturned.
The crime sets off a chain of events that would expose a diabolical scheme involving Pam Hupp (Zellweger) who is currently serving a life sentence for a 2016 murder in Missouri.
Zellweger will make her broadcast TV series debut and executive produce while Jessika Borsiczky (“UnReal”) is writing and will serve as showrunner.
Blumhouse Television, NBC News Studios and Zellweger’s Big Picture Co. are behind the project.
