The stars of Murdaugh: Death in the Family got themselves gussied up for the premiere and we could have sworn this show came out at least three months ago. We originally thought this was some sort of For Your Consideration thing and we couldn’t figure out why it was coming a month after the Emmys. We could go with the idea that we’re overworked or getting old, but we’d rather take the modern approach, vehemently avoid any suggestion of being mistaken and theorize that the entire universe is at fault by calling it the Mandela Effect. Anyway, here’s the cast — or their multiversal doppelgangers. Let’s judge them.
Will Harrison
It’s a nice suit, but the color can skew a little dreary. The black shirt was the worst choice for it. An oxblood would make it pop.
Patricia Arquette
She’s fully in her Wacky Auntie era (truth be told, she’s been in it for well over a decade) and we figure we’ll leave her to it. This outfit isn’t terrible but the color does nothing for her and the hair just looks goofy.
Jason Clarke
Brush your damn hair. You’re not a four-year-old.
Johnny Berchtold
We’re not convinced all of these pieces work together but we really appreciate the effort. We tend to think you can work that yellow or you can work that stripe, but you can’t work both of them with that blue plaid. We’d have liked some brown brogues. Too many stylists are putting their guys in boots with suits.
Brittany Snow
It’s kind of pretty but it needed significantly more aggressive styling than that.
ABOUT THE SERIES:
Maggie and Alex enjoy a lavish life of privilege as members of one of South Carolina’s most powerful legal dynasties. But when their son Paul is involved in a deadly boat crash, the family is faced with a test unlike any they’ve ever encountered. As details come to light and new challenges emerge, the family’s connections to several mysterious deaths raise questions which threaten everything Maggie and Alex hold dear.
The series stars Patricia Arquette as Maggie Murdaugh, Jason Clarke as Alex Murdaugh, Johnny Berchtold as Paul Murdaugh, Will Harrison as Buster Murdaugh, Brittany Snow as Mandy Matney, J. Smith-Cameron as Marian Proctor, Gerald McRaney as Randolph Murdaugh and Noah Emmerich as Randy Murdaugh.
Inspired by the popular “Murdaugh Murders Podcast,” the series hails from co-creator and showrunner Michael D. Fuller (“Quarry,” “Rectify” and “Locke & Key”) and co-creator Erin Lee Carr (“Britney vs Spears,” “I Love You, Now Die” and “Mommy Dead and Dearest”). Nick Antosca (“A Friend of the Family,” “The Act” and “Candy”) and Alex Hedlund for Eat the Cat are executive producers along with Mandy Matney, David Moses and Bill Johnson. Steven Piet executive produced and directed episodes 101, 102 and 108. Patricia Arquette and Jason Clarke also serve as executive producers. UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group, is the studio.
