We have a first glimpse of Jason Clarke portraying Alex Murdaugh in an upcoming Hulu series that explores the notorious murder case that has gripped the nation.
Clarke shares the screen with Patricia Arquette, who takes on the role of Alex’s wife, Maggie Murdaugh.
This limited series, titled “The Murdaugh Murders,” draws inspiration from the in-depth investigative work of Mandy Matney on the sensational murder case and is currently being filmed at Assembly Studios in Atlanta.
The production is slated to conclude in June, and these initial images from the set reveal Clarke in character with his striking blonde hair, a tie, sunglasses, and a casual yet polished appearance featuring slacks and an untucked button-down shirt.
Alex Murdaugh, a prominent lawyer in South Carolina, was found guilty last year of murdering his wife and son, Paul Murdaugh.
The bodies of Margaret and Paul Murdaugh were discovered on their property in June 2021, both having succumbed to gunshot wounds, as confirmed by the coroner’s report.
Despite the gravity of the situation, it took authorities several months before formally charging Alex with their murders. During this time, he faced allegations of attempting to orchestrate his own murder to benefit his surviving son from a substantial insurance payout. Additionally, he was charged with fraud and drug-related offenses.
This case has drawn significant media attention, with Alex Murdaugh now serving a life sentence following the shocking events that unfolded.
