The adaptation pulls off a tricky tone, balancing horrific mendacity with moments of levity. “We had actually been, like many people, trying to pursue the rights to ‘Pam’ on our own,” says Casinelli, “and when they brought up ‘Pam,’ we stopped them in their tracks and said that we have to do this with you - we were obsessed with this story.” A fan of the podcast, she and producing partner Carmella Casinelli already wanted to tell the story of Pam Hupp, a duplicitous Midwesterner eventually charged with the 2011 murder of her cancer-stricken friend. Zellweger got involved after learning about the project during a Blumhouse meeting and became a producer on the series.
