Renee Zellweger is taking on a TV role for the first time.
The 51-year-old actress will star in and executive produce a limited series called The Thing About Pam at NBC with a six-episode straight to series order, according to JustJared.com.
The show is “based on the murder of Betsy Faria which resulted in her husband Russ’ conviction. He always insisted that he did not kill her, and his conviction was later overturned as the brutal crime set off a chain of events that would expose a diabolical scheme deeply involving Pam Hupp, a role that will be played by Zellweger.”
