Paramount+ Drama 'Happy Face' Premieres March 20

Paramount+ is set to premiere 'Happy Face,' a true crime drama series, on March 20. The series stars Dennis Quaid as the infamous Happy Face Killer, Keith Hunter Jesperson, and Annaleigh Ashford as his daughter, Melissa G. Moore, inspired by Moore's real-life experiences. At age 15, Moore discovered her father was a prolific serial killer, a story she later chronicled in her podcast and autobiography 'Shattered Silence.' The eight-episode series will debut with two episodes, followed by weekly releases, exploring Melissa's struggle to prevent an innocent man from being executed for her father's crimes. The show delves into the impact of Jesperson's crimes on his victims' families and Melissa's own identity crisis. Produced by CBS Studios and executive produced by Robert and Michelle King, the series aims to blend fact with fiction, showcasing the chilling tale of a father-daughter relationship shaped by violent history.
