Badgley to Lead Amazon Murder Mystery Series

A TV adaptation of Benjamin Stevenson’s Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone has been greenlit with Penn Badgley set to star. The project is a darkly comedic murder mystery set in Vermont, following Ern Cunningham at a family reunion as a snowstorm traps the group and escalating bodies appear. David Hemingson will write and showrun, with Fifth Season and Made Up Stories as producers; Amazon MGM Studios is backing the series for Prime Video. The series marks Badgley’s return to a high-profile project after You, and it aligns with Stevenson’s ongoing Ernest Cunningham mystery series. Reports from Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, Deadline, and other outlets confirm the executive producers including Bruna Papandrea and Steve Hutensky, underscoring a high-profile collaboration. The book’s popularity and the developer’s track record suggest the potential for multiple installments and ongoing adaptation of the franchise.
