Prime Video Orders Elizabeth Banks-Led Karen Read Series

“I grew up in Massachusetts, and like so many people there, we watched this case divide families, friends, and entire towns. We have spent years with this material because the questions it raises go far beyond one courtroom: why we choose the stories we believe, and what happens when trust in our institutions breaks down. Justin has written a series that respects and treats with care the complexity of what happened and the public reaction to it,”

“This case has more twists and turns than any story I’ve ever consumed, real or fictional. It makes M. Night Shyamalan look like Nora Ephron. But the reason this story resonates and must be told is because of the profound takeaways it leaves us with: about a deeply imperfect justice system that urgently needs change, about the mistreatment of women by those who weaponize and abuse their power, and about a victim who deserves to be remembered.”
