Didn’t they just tell this exact story in Candy with Jessica Biel and Melanie Lynskey?

They did but apparently HBO was the first one to start development (source: Youtube commenter).

The Jessica Biel/Melanie Lynskey series was very good. I really enjoyed it.

God there are millions of true crime cases out there, what a waste of money and time. I didn't finish the other show, I had listened to a ONE HOUR podcast episode before and really didn't see the need to stretch this out to a series (well, two series now!).

Yes but now they're making it with a BANKABLE ACTRESS
