The nominees for an Oscar are planning to act as the main characters in a limited television show about the murder of JonBenét Ramsey. This series, currently called “JonBenét Ramsey,” will be produced by Paramount+. It will explore the unsolved case that once gripped the nation, with Melissa McCarthy and Clive Owen portraying Patsy and John Bennett Ramsey.

The production of the show coincides with the upcoming 30th anniversary of the unsolved murder, which occurred six years ago. The series will delve into the family’s experiences before and after the tragic event, as they grapple with the grief of losing a child while enduring intense public scrutiny due to widespread media coverage that made this case a national obsession.

The series aims to delve into the intricate aspects of the case, fueling public interest and depicting the profound impact it had on the Ramsey family. The enigma of JonBenét Ramsey is set to captivate audiences with its nuanced portrayal, a testament to the talent of McCarthy and Owen, as well as the expertise of the production team.

101 Studios, MTV Entertainment Studios, and creative mind Richard LaGravenese (from Behind the Candelabra) collaborate on the production of the popular series, Yellowstone.

The scriptwriters behind this project are LaGravenese, Harrison Query, and Tommy Wallach; they not only wrote it but also successfully pitched the idea to MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios. Additionally, Norwegian director Anne Sewitsky will helm four out of the eight episodes in the series, as seen in “Presumptive Innocent”.

On the 26th of December, 1996, six-year-old beauty pageant participant JonBenét was found dead, having suffered blows and ultimately being killed, in the basement of her residence in Boulder, Colorado. An examination later confirmed that she had been strangled, leading to the classification of the incident as a homicide.

Initially, the Boulder police believed that JonBenét’s mother, Patsy, might have penned the ransom note and that her parents had fabricated both the note and their daughter’s body to conceal a murder. However, John and Patsy, JonBenét’s parents, were exonerated of suspicion in this case. Later, Boulder District Attorney Stan Garnett expressed his view in a 2016 interview with PEOPLE that the “exoneration” was misleading. The investigation into her death has persisted and has been frequently shown on TV.
