Paramount Plus‘ selection of original shows is expanding with Happy Face — an eight-episode crime series starring Annaleigh Ashford and Dennis Quaid.
According to a synopsis, the drama “is inspired by the true-life story of Melissa G. Moore,” who found out her father was a serial killer when she was a teenager. The show follows an adult Melissa, who learns new information from her dad, the Happy Face Killer, and must uncover whether “an innocent man is going to be put to death for a crime her father committed,” per Paramount Plus. Ashford and Quaid portray Melissa and Happy Face.
The real Happy Face — Keith Hunter Jesperson — killed at least eight women in the 1990s, according to CNN. Moore and M. Bridget Cook’s autobiography, Shattered Silence, and the Happy Face podcast are inspirations for the series. If you’re interested in streaming the show, here’s when new episodes debut.
