I think we would have had a very different outcome. If Candy had been in too much of a rush to go inside. Like, if Alyssa and Jenny hadn’t had a playdate that day. Because I believe if Candy had gone to Betty Gore’s house and any number of things had happened differently, I don’t think that horrible incident would happen. So I have to chalk it up to this being a story that explores what, really in some ways, is inexplicable. So we thought that we had covered all our bases, but it’s public domain material, so there’s nothing you can do.
We had licensed all the underlying rights. Hulu announced its take on the story with Candy while you were two months into filming, and finished before you were done. We wanted try to understand why this happened how it could happen what in the culture? It’s so much about, in some ways, the cracks in the American dream.

Kelley, directed the first four episodes and the finale. Glatter, an executive producer with creator David E. Love & Death, which released its finale Thursday, spent seven episodes diving into Candy Montgomery’s story, with the final episode ending Candy’s trial with her acquittal and showing the brutal killing in full, after showing only bits and pieces in the fourth episode. It was emotional and intense and kind of unforgettable.” Every night after we wrapped, we all kind of just held each other. And it was just heart-wrenching and terrifying.
And, yes, we storyboarded it, and yes, we rehearsed the choreography, but once those two amazing actors Lizzie and Lily embodied it, they went for it. It was, I don’t know, really up close and personal. “It took place in this tiny laundry room.
