Per the official description, the untitled series “is based on Maggie (played by Arquette) and Alex Murdaugh’s stranger-than-fiction family drama, a riveting account drawing from countless hours of reporting by Mandy Matney – journalist and creator of the popular Murdaugh Murders Podcast – as well as exclusive, insider knowledge from years spent following the case.”
The project hails from co-creator/showrunner Michael D. Fuller ( Quarry, Rectify ) and co-creator Erin Lee Carr ( Britney vs Spears ), with Nick Antosca ( The Act, Candy ) and Alex Hedlund for Eat the Cat serving as executive producers alongside Matney.
Arquette’s previous TV credits include High Desert, Severance, CSI: Cyber, The Act and Medium .
