The series is a production of MTV Entertainment Studios & 101 Studios, the same team behind the successful "Yellowstone" series.
The series, as reported by Daily Caller, will see McCarthy portraying Patsy Ramsey, the mother of the ill-fated child, while Owen will embody the character of John, the child's father. The production is slated to commence in Calgary, Canada, and will delve into the chilling story of the six-year-old pageant queen's disappearance and subsequent death. Ramsey vanished from her Boulder, Colorado home on December 26, 1996, and was tragically discovered dead in the basement hours later, with a ransom note left behind.
