Los Angeles. – Paramount+ announces the production of Fear Not, a dramatic series based on real events that will star the acclaimed actress Anne Hathaway. The six-episode miniseries is inspired by the 2023 Vanity Fair article, True Crime, True Faith: The Serial Killer and the Texas Mom Who Stopped Him, written by Julie Miller, and is expected to arrive on the platform in 2027. Fear Not tells the story of Margy Palm, played by Hathaway, who survived a kidnapping at the hands of serial killer Stephen Morin, one of Texas’s most notorious criminals. What began as a life-or-death situation turned into a story of compassion, faith, and courage, showing how Palm managed to maintain hope and the firmness of her convictions even in the face of the most extreme danger.
