Hulu has given a series order to Candy, a limited series starring Biel in the title role as Candy Montgomery, the real-life Texas woman who killed her friend Betty Gore with an ax in 1980. The project was first announced in July 2020 with Moss playing Montgomery. But Moss had to pull out due to scheduling conflicts. Biel is also coming aboard as an executive producer. Candy is one of two Candy Montgomery series in the works. Elizabeth Olsen is playing Montgomery in the HBO Max limited series Love and Death. Candy is written by Robin Veith, who earned three Emmy nominations writing for Mad Men.
