LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The saga of true-crime installments lives on with yet another chilling investigation on the horizon. Coming up next is the limited HBO series 'Love & Death,' which recounts Betty Gore's (Lily Rabe) gruesome murder. The killer was none other than her neighbor and friend Candy Montgomery (Elizabeth Olsen), who was having an affair with Gore's husband at the time. The limited series will be based on John Bloom and Jim Atkinson's books 'Evidence of Love: A True Story of Passion' and 'Death in the Suburbs,' as well as a few articles that were published in the Texas Monthly regarding the case. 

The limited series stars Elizabeth Olsen ('WandaVision') as Candy Montgomery, Jesse Plemons ('Jungle Cruise') as Allan Gore, Lily Rabe ('American Horror Story') as Betty Gore, Krysten Ritter ('Jessica Jones') as Sherry Cleckler, Patrick Fugit ('Outcast') as Pat Montgomery, Keir Gilchrist ('Atypical') as Pastor Ron Adams, Elizabeth Marvel ('House of Cards') as Pastor Jackie Ponder, and Tom Pelphrey ('Ozark') as Don Crowder.

Will never happen but find me someone who would say no." A fan wrote, "Lizzie is gonna take home ALL the awards," while another shared, "This is gonna serve...she is about to make history all over again." A fan tweeted, "Just give her the Emmy now." Lastly, a fan commented, "Ooo this is gonna be good."
