JonBenét Ramsey Series Adds Garrett Hedlund, Alison Pill, Emily Mitchell, and Owen Teague To Cast
Paramount+ has announced that Garrett Hedlund, Alison Pill, Emily Mitchell, and Owen Teague have joined the cast of its JonBenét Ramsey limited series.
They join the previously announced series leads Melissa McCarthy and Clive Owen as well as cast members Shea Whigham and Will Patton.
The series will follow “the Ramsey family, before and after the tragedy as they go through the painful loss of a child while facing intense public scrutiny caused by a media frenzy that caused this case to captivate an entire nation.
“At the heart of the series, it is the story of Patsy (McCarthy) and John Ramsey (Owen) – exploring the unbreakable partnership of these two complex people – as husband and wife, as mother and father – who had committed themselves and their children to building the narrative of a perfect, privileged life only to have it destroyed one Christmas night in 1996.
Mitchell (Ordinary Angels, Priscilla) will play JonBenét Ramsey in the series.
Hedlund (Tron: Legacy, Friday Night Lights) will play Detective Steve Thomas, described as “a seasoned detective who is brought onto the Jonbenét case.”
Pill (Star Trek: Picard) will play Detective Linda Arndt, said to be “a Boulder, Colorado police detective. Arndt and partner Detective Trujillo are the first detectives on the scene after Jonbenét Ramsey is reported missing/kidnapped.”
Production on the series is set to begin soon in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
