Renée Zellweger to Star in the Blumhouse Limited Series THE THING ABOUT PAM

Two-time Oscar winner Renée Zellweger ("Judy", "Cold Mountain") is set to executive produce and star in the true-crime limited series "The Thing About Pam", which has received a six-episode straight-to-series order from NBC. This will mark Zellweger's first regular role on a broadcast show.

The show, a collaboration between Blumhouse, NBC News Studios and Zellweger's Big Picture Co., is based on the real-life story behind the 2011 murder of Betsy Faria that was featured on Dateline NBC. Her husband was convicted of the crime but insisted that he did not killer her, and his conviction was later overturned, which set off a chain of events that would expose a diabolical scheme involving Pam Hupp (Zellweger). Hupp is currently serving a life sentence for a 2016 murder in Missouri, and her story has been the subject of several Dateline segments and a 2019 podcast.

Jessika Borsiczky ("House of Lies") penned the script and will also serve as showrunner.

Here's what Blumhouse founder and CEO Jason Blum had to say about the project:

"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. This opportunity to build a powerful, scripted franchise and work with the incomparable Renee Zellweger in her first starring role on broadcast TV, with a writer as gifted as Jessika Borsiczky and adapting material from the treasure troves of Dateline in partnership with our friends at NBC, is unparalleled. I couldn’t be more proud of the Blumhouse team for bringing it to fruition."

Golden Globes 2020 Winners: The Complete List

The Golden Globes turned out to be a more interesting show this year. Ricky Gervais' return as host went down as expected with lots of sharp stabs at Hollywood and the privileged elites, PC culture, recent scandals and celebrities using awards shows as political platforms. I'll be honest, I would pay money to watch Gervais host the Oscars, but I guess that will never happen. Kudos to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for bringing him back for another go.

As for the awards themselves, there were a few surprises. Perhaps the most unexpected was that the WWI drama "1917" won Best Picture - Drama and Best Director (Sam Mendes), propelling it ahead of Scorsese's "The Irishman" in this awards season. Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" scored three big wins for Best Picture - Musical or Comedy, Best Screenplay (Tarantino) and Supporting Actor (Brad Pitt).

In the acting categories, Joaquin Phoenix won Best Actor - Drama for his incredible performance in "Joker", and Renee Zellweger won Best Actress for playing the iconic Judy Garland in the biopic "Judy". Laura Dern helped "Marriage Story" bring home its only trophy out of six nominations with a Supporting Actress win.

In the television categories, "Succession" scored two wins for Best Drama Series and Actor (Brian Cox), "Chernobyl" won Limited Series and Supporting Actor (Stellan Skarsgard), and "Fleabag" took home awards for Comedy Series and Actress - Musical or Comedy (Phoebe Waller-Bridge).
