Patricia Arquette will star as Maggie Murdaugh in the limited series about the powerful Murdaugh family of South Carolina for Hulu. Per Variety, the show was first reported to be in development at Hulu in November 2022, but has now officially been ordered to series.

The official synopsis for the as-yet-untitled show reads that it “is based on Maggie (Arquette) and Alex Murdaugh’s stranger-than-fiction family drama, a riveting account drawing from countless hours of reporting by Mandy Matney – journalist and creator of the popular ‘Murdaugh Murders Podcast’ – as well as exclusive, insider knowledge from years spent following the case.”

The Murdaugh family were powerful players in the Lowcountry region of South Caroline, but were accused of involvement in a variety of crimes, ranging from fraud to murder. In addition to the “Murdaugh Murders” podcast, they have been the subject of multiple docuseries and news specials. Alex Murdaugh was convicted of the 2021 fatal shootings of Maggie and their son Paul, and is serving two consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole.
