True crime fanatics cannot wait for Biel's portrayal of Montgomery, a housewife and devout Methodist who killed her best friend Betty Gore with an axe in June 1980. Biel has become a trusted storyteller in the thriller genre after starring in and executive producing USA's 'The Sinner', as well as Facebook Watch's 'Limetown'. She's an executive producer on the popular Freeform drama 'Cruel Summer', which was ordered for the second season in 2021.

'Handmaid's Tale' actor Elisabeth Moss was originally slated to play Montgomery, but in October, it was reported that the star had to drop out because of scheduling conflicts.
