If grieving over the loss of her synthezoid husband in WandaVision wasn’t enough, Elizabeth Olsen is about to face even more neighborhood woes in a new HBO Max limited series called Love and Death. Inspired by the book Evidence of Love: A True Story of Passion and Death in the Suburbs and a collection of articles called “Love & Death In Silicon Prairie, Part I & II” from Texas Monthly, the series follows two churchgoing couples in a small town in Texas whose lives take a dark turn when someone picks up an axe.
HBO Max sent out a press release announcing their order of the Love and Death series. Elizabeth Olsen is taking the lead role as Candy Montgomery in the Lionsgate series that is being written and executive produced by David E. Kelley (Ally McBeal, The Practice) and his own production banner. Leslie Linka Glatter (Homeland, Mad Men, The Walking Dead) will serve as director of the series, and she’ll also be executive producing. Other executive producers include Nicole Kidman and Per Saari from Blossom Films, Scott Brown and Megan Creydt for Texas Monthly, and Matthew Tinker, Michael Klick, and Helen Verno.
