Murdaugh Murders Drama Starring Patricia Arquette a Go at Hulu

Hulu will dramatize one of the most talked about criminal cases of the past few years.

The streamer has greenlit an untitled limited series based on the Murdaugh murders case. Emmy winner Patricia Arquette is set to star in the project as Maggie Murdaugh; the series comes from co-creators Michael D. Fuller and Erin Lee Carr and executive producer Nick Antosca.

The project is a reunion for Arquette and Antosca, who worked together on Hulu’s The Act (for which Arquette won an Emmy for best supporting actress in a limited series or movie). Like that series, the Murdaugh drama is produced by Antosca’s Eat the Cat banner and Universal Studio Group’s UCP, where Antosca and Eat the Cat have an overall deal.

The Murdaugh case — which saw Maggie’s husband, Alex Murdaugh, sentenced to life in prison for killing her and their son Paul — has already been the subject of a number of podcasts and TV documentaries , including shows at Netflix, Max and ID. Hulu’s series will draw on reporting by journalist Mandy Matney, creator and co-host of the Murdaugh Murders Podcast (later renamed True Sunlight as it broadened its focus to other cases).

Fuller ( Rectify, Locke & Key ) will serve as showrunner on the series. He and Carr, a documentarian known for Britney vs. Spears and I Love You, Now Die (and who has a first-look deal at UCP), executive produce with Antosca and Alex Hedlund for Eat the Cat and Matney.

Arquette is repped by Gersh, 3 Arts Entertainment and Goodman Genow; Fuller, by UTA, Grandview and Johnson Shapiro; Carr, by UTA and Sloss Eckhouse; Antosca, by WME and Ginsburg Daniels; and Matney, by UTA.
