Jessica Biel has returned to the dark side with her new role as convicted murderer Candy Montgomery.
As per E! News, photographers captured the actor in a very `80s blue dress, oversized glasses and heels as she filmed the upcoming Hulu series `Candy` in Decatur, Georgia.
True crime fanatics cannot wait for Biel`s portrayal of Montgomery, a housewife and devout Methodist who killed her best friend Betty Gore with an axe in June 1980. Biel has become a trusted storyteller in the thriller genre after starring in and executive producing USA`s `The Sinner`, as well as Facebook Watch`s `Limetown`. She`s an executive producer on the popular Freeform drama `Cruel Summer`, which was ordered for the second season in 2021.
`Handmaid`s Tale` actor Elisabeth Moss was originally slated to play Montgomery, but in October, it was reported that the star had to drop out because of scheduling conflicts.
Biel isn`t the only actress retelling the tale of Montgomery`s horrific crime.
Elizabeth Olsen is playing the Texas housewife in the HBO Max limited series `Love & Death`, set to premiere on the streaming platform this year. Oscar nominee Jesse Plemons will play Allan Gore, joined by co-stars Lily Rabe, Patrick Fugit, Keir Gilchrist, Elizabeth Marvel, Tom Pelphrey and Krysten Ritter.
