Elizabeth Banks will play acquitted Massachusetts murder defendant Karen Read in a limited series.

“When a Boston police officer is found dead in the snow, all eyes are on his girlfriend, Karen Read. Fracturing a community, some believe she is guilty of first-degree murder, but others believe she’s the victim of a sweeping cover-up by state and local law enforcement,” the future program’s logline states. “This series explores society’s obsession with true crime, the allure of conspiracy, and the deepening crisis of trust in our institutions.”

Banks, 51 — a Pittsfield, Massachusetts native famous for the Hunger Games series of films — will also serve as an executive producer for the Amazon Prime and Warner Bros. series. The news was leaked to and broke by the publication Deadline .
