Hulu Releases Full Trailer for True Crime Limited Series CANDY Starring Jessica Biel

Hulu has released a full trailer for their limited true crime series Candy. The show follows the true story of Candy Montgomery, a seemingly normal housewife in small town Wylie, Texas, who was convicted in 1980 for the brutal axe murder of her neighbor Betty Gore, played in the show by Melanie Lynskey.

Candy’s lawyer in the series is played by Raúl Esparza (Hannibal), Timothy Simmons (Veep) plays Candy’s husband Pat Montgomery, and Pablo Schreiber (Halo) is Betty’s husband, Alan Gore. The series was created by Robin Veith, who previously wrote for the Hulu true crime series The Act, who writes four episodes of the series.

This looks like a really good series. It is one of two competing miniseries based on the Candy Montgomery murder case set to premiere this year. The other is Love and Death, an HBO Max original series created by David E. Kelley that stars Elizabeth Olsen as Montgomery and Lily Rabe as Gore. The release date for Love and Death has not yet been announced.

Hulu will release Candy as a five-part event. After the first episode’s premiere on Monday, May 9th, new episodes will drop each week night, culminating in the finale on May 13th. Watch the full trailer below, and let us know what you think.
