Jessica Biel looks the part, as she takes on the role of convicted murderer Candy Montgomery in her new limited series.

Photographers took pictures of the actress in Decatur, Ga. on Tuesday in a ‘80s blue dress, oversized glasses and heels as she films for the upcoming Hulu series Candy. Montgomery was a housewife and devout Methodist who killed her best friend Betty Gore with an axe in June 1980.

Actress Elisabeth Moss was initially supposed to play Montgomery, but in October, had to drop out because of scheduling conflicts. Elizabeth Olsen is playing Montgomery in the HBO Max limited series Love & Death, set to premiere this year.

Biel has starred in and executively produced USA's

The Sinner, as well as Facebook Watch's Limetown. She's also an executive producer on the popular Freeform drama Cruel Summer, which has a second season premiering in 2022.
