The Thing About Pam, coming from Blumhouse Television (the team behind Worst Roommate Ever), has a bit of inspired casting with beloved actress Renée Zelwegger taking on the role of Pam Hupp, the neighbor everyone trusted until it was too late. Most notably, though, the series has caught flak for having Zelwegger wear a fat suit instead of just hiring someone who looked like Pam Hupp.
As for the plot of The Thing About Pam, it all begins with the true story of the unexplained homicide of Betsy Faria, which Dateline documented. Hupp, who speaks with that thick midwest accent that's synonymous with the Fargo movie, was the last person to see Faria.
Other casting includes Josh Duhamel as attorney Joel Schwartz, who was defending Russell Faria, Betsy's husband, and Judy Greer as prosecutor Leah Askey.
Suspicion piles further onto Pam when it's discovered that Betsy changed her life insurance beneficiary from her husband to Hupp. Here's everything you need to know about how to watch The Thing About Pam. Check out the sneak peek preview below and scroll down for a full list of cast members.
