Jessica Biel Plays Notorious Murderer in Hulu’s Upcoming Crime Drama ‘Candy’

I know I’ve said this before at some point on this blog, but I feel it’s always necessary to reiterate. It’s a weird dichotomy to love true crime stories. On one hand, the stories are always compelling yet these are things that actually happened to people so it’s a bit unsettling to find entertainment in them. Still, true crime stories rank high for so many and networks keep dishing them out. Case in point Hulu’s upcoming crime drama Candy. 

Based on the true story, Jessica Biel stars as Candy Montgomery, a typical Texan housewife who ends up killing Betty Gore (Melanie Lynskey) – her friend from church – with an ax in 1980. What could have possibly led up to such a heinous crime? The series will explore it. Biel does bare a striking resemblance to Montgomery so it’ll be interesting to see her really bring this story to light for those, like myself, who are unfamiliar.

Timothy Simons, Pablo Schreiber, and Raúl Esparza also star in Candy. The five-night event premieres Monday, May 9 on Hulu.
