Who Is Candy Montgomery in Hulu’s Upcoming True Crime Miniseries ‘Candy’ & HBO’s ‘Love and Death’?

Jessica Biel as Candy Montgomery, no more 7th heaven for her

As a true crime nerd, it is always excited to see an adaptation of a crime you have heard/read a lot about. This is why the trailer for the Hulu mini-series Candy was of such interest to me. And then I found out that this was one of two television adaptations about the case. The second is Love and Death which is scheduled to come out this year on HBO.

The animated film was scheduled to be released on January 14, 2022, but was canceled after Disney announced that it would shut down Blue Sky. This was already a sad conclusion to the journey of the comic, but it has now gotten more complicated with news from former Blue Sky staffers about how Disney pushed back against a same-sex kiss.

‘The Baby-Sitters Club’ Showrunner Speaks on Netflix’s Sudden Cancellation

Still from the Baby-Sitters Club on Netflix.

The cancelation of The Baby-Sitter's Club was a sudden and heartbreaking loss for fans of the series. The adaptation of the popular book series was critically loved and seemed to be performing well on the streaming service Netflix. However, in an interview with showrunner Rachel Shukert, it seems that the show's cancelation also signals something more complicated behind the scenes.
