Academy Award winner Anne Hathaway will star in and executive produce “Fear Not,” a true crime limited series due out on Paramount+ next year.
It tells the true story of prolific serial killer Stephen Morin — accused of more crimes than Ted Bundy — and the unlikely bond he formed with Margy Palm (Hathaway), the last woman he ever kidnapped.
Morin’s abduction of Palm, which started as a deadly captive situation, took an unlikely turn: one which included compassion, prayer and profound courage. Palm’s devotion to her faith and her insistence that Morin could be transformed, became the impetus of a relationship that lasted long after Palm was returned to safety — until Morin received the death penalty.
Bash Doran (Outlaw King, “Boardwalk Empire”) is writing, based on the Vanity Fair article “Sympathy for the Devil” by Julie Miller.
“At Paramount+, we are always looking for stories that captivate and entertain our audience, and this series will do exactly that,” said Jane Wiseman, Head of Originals for Paramount+. “By grounding this chilling true story in the lived experience of our protagonist, Anne is bringing a level of nuance and gravity to the screen that only a performer of her caliber can.”
The real Margy Palm is executive producing alongside husband Bart and daughter Noelle.
Additional executive producers include Hathaway, Adam Shulman, and Johnathan Rice for Somewhere Pictures, Steve Stark and Stacey Levin for Toluca Pictures, and Helen Estabrook for Vanity Fair Studios. MGM Television produces.
Hathaway has a busy year ahead, with Mother Mary, The Devil Wears Prada 2, The Odyssey, Verity, and Flowervale Street all due out in 2026.
