Chloë Grace Moretz (Kick-Ass, Suspiria, The Miseducation of Cameron Post) has signed on to star in and executive produce the TV adaptation of the true crime podcast My Mom’s Murder.
The ten-part audio series launched this week on Audible, and is a podcast hosted by Lauren Malloy which tells the story of how she believed her mother died of a heart condition but it turned out she was murdered.
The pod, which is produced by AYR Media, the company behind series such as The Case of Jon Benet Ramsey and Queen of the Con, sees Malloy as she uncovers the shocking truth about her mother Lori’s death in 1993.
When Malloy was just an infant, her mother passed away, and she grew up believing her passing was natural. When she discovers that her mother’s death was actually an unsolved murder, she sets out on a journey to discover the truth.
The podcast follows Malloy as she confronts family members, interviews old friends, and unearths hidden evidence about her mother’s life and death. Her investigation leads her to confront shady characters from her mother’s past and navigate conflicting stories and disturbing truths and culminates in potential breakthroughs in the decades long cold case.
Moretz and MGM Television are teaming to adapt the story. Moretz will exec produce alongside AYR Media’s Aliza Rosen, Steve Stark and Stacey Levin for Toluca Pictures, and Jackie Levine for Audible. Malloy will serve as a producer on the series as well.
