Dennis Quaid Is a Serial Killer in Trailer for the Dark Crime Series HAPPY FACE
Paramount+ has released the first trailer for its upcoming crime drama series Happy Face, which stars Denis Quiad as the Happy Face serial killer.
The series is inspired by the true-life story of Melissa Moore, the Happy Face podcast, and the autobiography Shattered Silence, written by Moore with M. Bridget Cook.
At 15-years-old Moore discovered that her father was the prolific serial killer known as Happy Face. As an adult, she has changed her name and guarded her secret while her father has been serving life in prison.
The series follows Melissa (Annaleigh Ashford) “and her incarcerated father, known as the Happy Face Killer (Quaid). After decades of no contact, he finally finds a way to force himself back into his daughter’s life.
“In a race against the clock, Melissa must find out if an innocent man is going to be put to death for a crime her father committed. Throughout, she discovers the impact her father had on his victims’ families and must face a reckoning of her own identity.”
This looks like a good show that will tell an unsettling story. Jennifer Cacicio (Your Honor, Shooter) serves as showrunner for the series and executive producer. Michael Showalter (The Dropout, The Eyes of Tammy Faye) also directed the first episode.
The series is set to premiere on March 20th.
