Jessica Biel Replaces Elisabeth Moss in True Crime Limited Series CANDY at Hulu

Jessica Biel (The Sinner) has signed on to star in the true crime limited series Candy at Hulu. She is taking on the leading role that The Handmaid’s Tale star Elisabeth Moss was set to play, but recently dropped out of due to scheduling conflicts.

Biel will play Texan Candy Montgomery, who killed her church friend with an ax, in the series created and written by Robin Veith and Nick Antosca, who worked together on The Act. Michael Uppendahl, who has worked on Mad Men and Fargo will direct the pilot, as well as executive produce alongside Biel.

This is an exciting project, and it’s a bummer that Moss had to drop out, but Biel has earned her stripes as a dramatic actress, and I am interested to see her play the role.
