Rob Zombie’s Halloween star Scout Taylor-Compton has directed a murder-mystery series titled What Ever Happened to Daisy?, Deadline reports.
Described as “a stylish marriage of Desperate Housewives meets Scream,” the eight-episode show is created, written, and produced by Owsley Robinson.
It follow three estranged siblings who must deduce the identity of a masked killer at their family’s gilded age estate, while ladies of their late mother’s social circle descend with their own agendas.
Christa B. Allen (“Revenge”), Elisa Donovan (Clueless), Cerina Vincent (Cabin Fever), and Barbara Crampton (Re-Animator) star.
The cast also includes Robinson, Anthony Del Negro (Deep in the Darkness), Catherine Corcoran (Terrifier), Olivia D’Abo (“The Wonder Years”), Brittany Daniel (Club Dread), Justiin Davis (“Boardwalk Empire”), Tom O’Connell (“Obi-Wan Kenobi”), and Charlene Tilton (“Dallas”).
Bryan Coyne, a writer on James Wan’s upcoming Creature of the Black Lagoon reboot, executive produces alongside Del Negro, Shane O’Brien, and Zach O’Brien.
“Filming What Ever Happened to Daisy? was like getting invited to the most glamorous dinner party —only to realize someone’s about to be murdered between the second course and dessert,” said Taylor-Compton. “I’ve never had so much fun playing in a world this twisted, this elegant, and this full of secrets.”
Made independently, the producers will shop the series around for distribution.
