A limited series about the killing of JonBenet Ramsey has landed at Netflix after being put in turnaround at its former home, Paramount+.
The Murder of JonBenet Ramsey, starring Melissa McCarthy and Clive Owen as Patsy and John Ramsey, is set to debut in the winter on Netflix. The series was greenlit at Paramount+ in 2024 — before Paramount’s takeover by Skydance — and comes from 101 Studios (Yellowstone, Landman). Paramount TV Studios was initially involved as well, but will not be credited when the series streams on Netflix.
Production on the series wrapped in early 2025 under the title Unspeakable: The Murder of JonBenet Ramsey. The intent was to have it be the first installment of an anthology series (a la Netflix’s Monster) that would examine unsolved crimes.
After Skydance took over Paramount, however, the series was quietly shelved. Additionally, 101 Studios moved from Paramount to NBCUniversal earlier this year, following Taylor Sheridan — who has worked with 101 on a host of shows — to NBCU.
