Miniseries debuts April 28 on Hulu

Oscar winner Dustin Lance Black (Milk) adapts the nonfiction book by Jon Krakauer into a seven-episode, FX-produced miniseries that launches with its first two episodes on the 28th. The true-crime series focuses on the events leading up to the 1984 murder of a Utah woman (Normal People's Daisy Edgar-Jones) and her baby daughter by a pair of Mormon fundamentalists. Andrew Garfield also stars as the detective who investigates the case and finds his own Mormon faith shaken by what he discovers.
