The series was first announced as in development in May 2020 as NBC and Blumhouse announced their partnership on the project, with the latter also announcing a first-look deal with Halloween star.
Nearly a year after it was announced the production banner would be developing the limited series alongside NBC, Blumhouse Television’s The Truth About Pam has found its star with two-time Oscar winner Renée Zellweger, marking her broadcast TV debut, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The NBC program has covered the case a number of time since 2014 and even created a podcast, The Thing About Pam, in 2019 centered on it.
“Similar to our acclaimed and award-winning crime series such as The Jinx and Sharp Objects, we see this opportunity to fuel viewers’ appetites for strong and compelling stories,” Blum said in a statement.
