Jesse Plemons to Star Opposite Elizabeth Olsen in True Crime Limited Series LOVE AND DEATH at HBO Max
Jesse Plemons (Breaking Bad, Fargo, Judas and the Black Messiah) is set to star opposite Elizabeth Olsen in the HBO Max true crime limited series Love and Death. The series, produced by Lionsgate, is inspired by the book Evidence of Love: A True Story of Passion and Death in the Suburbs and a collection of articles from Texas Monthly (“Love & Death in Silicon Prairie, Part I & II”).
The series follows the true story of “two church-going couples, enjoying small-town family life in Texas (or, at least they do until somebody picks up an axe). The series is based on the true story of Texas housewife Candy Montgomery, who murdered her friend from church, Betty Gore, with an axe in 1980.”
Plemons will play Allan Gore, while Olsen was previously announced to play Candy Montgomery.
These are two great leads, and this is a crazy story for murderinos to enjoy. Plemons can next be seen in Disney’s Jungle Cruise this summer, the horror thriller Antlers this fall, the drama The Power of the Dog opposite his fiancee Kirsten Dunst, and Martin Scorsese’s true crime historical drama, Killers of the Flower Moon.
