Hulu drops trailer for series about the Murdaugh family.
For those of you who don't know, the story of the Murdaugh family gripped the nation not that long ago. Alex Murdaugh was the patriarch of an incredibly powerful South Carolina family…..and then it all unraveled with several lives lost.
Now, Hulu will take a deep dive into the events surrounding a story that is too strange for fiction. With Jason Clark leading the way as Alex Murdaugh, it looks like fans are in for a wild ride.
I won't spoil all the details here about what happened, but the catalyst for the collapse of the Murdaugh family starts with the death of Mallory Beach on February 24, 2019.
She was riding in a boat that Paul Murdaugh was accused of operating while under the influence. Paul eventually faced charges, and the events that followed were every bit confusing as they were captivating and weird.
Paul never saw a trial because he was found shot and killed, along with his mother, in June 2021. That's where the story of the Murdaugh family really spirals out of control, and judging from the trailer, that will be the main focus of the series.
If you want to find out how it all plays out, look it up on Google. Trust me when I say it's going to sound too crazy for anyone to believe.
I also have to say that Jason Clark is damn near a dead ringer for Alex Murdaugh in the role.
