US EditionAnne Hathaway To Star In And Executive Produce Paramount+ Limited Series ‘Fear Not’
The six-episode series adapts a Vanity Fair story about serial killer Stephen Morin and survivor Margy Palm, highlighting a rare bond formed during captivity, with a 2027 premiere planned.
- Paramount+ has greenlit Fear Not, a six-episode limited series starring and executive produced by Oscar-winning actress Anne Hathaway, adapted from Julie Miller’s Vanity Fair feature, slated to premiere next year.
- After a heated October 2023 bidding war pursued by two major streamers, Paramount+ prevailed and fast-tracked development due to a scheduling clock tied to Hathaway’s availability.
- MGM Television is producing Fear Not with Toluca Pictures and Somewhere Pictures, executive producers include Steve Stark, Stacey Levin, Helen Estabrook, the Palm family, and Bash Doran as writer/showrunner.
- The pickup aligns with Paramount+ leaders Cindy Holland and Jane Wiseman’s push for female-skewing thrillers, joining recent orders like Discretion and 9/12 under the new regime.
- Hathaway returns to TV in a rare starring role, portraying Margy Palm’s Dec. 11, 1981 abduction, eight-hour captivity and more than a dozen prison visits to Stephen Morin.
