Paramount+ has announced the working title of its new anthology series: Unspeakable: The Murder of Jonbenét Ramsey.
Paramount+’s new true-crime drama anthology series delves into some of the nation’s most heartbreaking and gripping unsolved crimes.
The first installment, Unspeakable: The Murder of Jonbenét Ramsey (w/t), stars Academy Award® nominees Melissa McCarthy (Bridesmaids, Can You Ever Forgive Me?) and Clive Owen (Closer, The Knick) as Patsy and John Bennett Ramsey.
The series centers on the story of Patsy and John Ramsey, exploring their unbreakable partnership and the complex dynamics of their marriage and parenting. It delves into how they crafted a narrative of a perfect, privileged life for themselves and their children — a facade shattered by tragedy one Christmas night in 1996.
The cast also includes Emily Mitchell (What We Do in the Shadows), Garrett Hedlund (Tulsa King), Alison Pill (Star Trek: Picard), Shea Whigham (Boardwalk Empire), Owen Teague (Bloodline), Clifton Collins Jr. (Westworld), Rory Cochrane (CSI: Miami), Chris Bauer (True Blood), Angus Caldwell, Will Patton (Falling Skies), John Billingsley (True Blood), Jeremy Bobb (The Knick), Jaime Ray Newman (Eureka), and Josh Stamberg (Drop Dead Diva), as well as guest star Margo Martindale (The Sticky).
Produced by SHOWTIME/MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios, production on the series is currently underway in Calgary, Canada, with Academy Award® nominee Richard LaGravenese (Behind the Candelabra) serving as showrunner and executive producer. Four of the eight episodes, including the first episode, will be directed by Anne Sewitsky (Presumed Innocent), who will also serve as executive producer.
The series is executive produced by David C. Glasser, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, David Hutkin, Melissa McCarthy, and Anne Sewitsky. Writers Richard LaGravenese, Harrison Query, and Tommy Wallach will also serve as executive producers. Query and Wallach sold the project to SHOWTIME/MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios.
The series will debut exclusively on Paramount+ (date tba). Stay tuned for updates.
