- Prime Video has set Patricia Clarkson, Elizabeth Marvel, Daniella Garcia, Felix Solis, Sean Astin, Annaleigh Ashford, Chris Walley and Eliza Bennett as series regulars in the upcoming dark comedy.
- David Hemingson adapted Benjamin Stevenson’s bestselling novel for Prime Video, with Penn Badgley starring as mystery-writing expert Ern Cunningham, who reluctantly attends a family reunion to welcome brother Michael home from prison—the same brother Ern helped convict.
- Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone takes place in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom, where a frozen body appears and a snowstorm traps the gathering inside as deaths begin to mount; every relative has already killed someone, by accident or otherwise.
- Patricia Clarkson plays Audrey, a widowed mother turned pariah; Felix Solis plays Audrey’s second husband Marcelo, Daniella Garcia plays Marcelo’s daughter Dr. Sofia Garcia with a secret, Elizabeth Marvel plays Katherine, Audrey’s sister, and Sean Astin plays Andy, Katherine’s husband.
- Alexandra Brodsky will direct half of the episodes, including the pilot and season finale, and is also listed among the executive producers.
- Amazon MGM Studios, Fifth Season and Made Up Stories produce the series, while Molly Allen, Bruna Papandrea, Steve Hutensky and Jeanne Snow are among its executive producers.
Why it matters: Prime Video now has a principal ensemble of eight series regulars spanning Audrey, her relatives and their spouses. For Clarkson’s widowed mother and the show’s snowbound family-reunion mystery, those recurring connections sharpen the stated premise that every relative has killed someone, accident or otherwise.
