Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone is headed to Prime Video. The streaming service has ordered the murder mystery series inspired by the Benjamin Stevenson book series.
Penn Badgley will star in the series. Deadline shared the following about the plot of the series:
“Set deep in the dense mountains of Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom, Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone follows Ern Cunningham (Badgley), a mystery-writing expert who reluctantly attends a family reunion to welcome his brother Michael home from prison — the same brother Ern helped convict. When a frozen body appears and a snowstorm traps everyone inside, the deaths begin to mount. Everyone in his family has already killed someone — either by accident or otherwise.”
Stevenson also spoke about the series inspired by his work. He said, “I am blown away by the vision and enthusiasm everyone has for bringing this book, and Ernest Cunningham, to the screen. Penn perfectly captures Ern’s clueyness and cleverness, and David has brought bags of wit and heart to the script. With the passion of Amazon MGM Studios, Bruna and Steve behind us we have an absolutely killer team, and I can’t wait to solve a murder with them!”
The premiere date for the series will be announced later.
