The Watcher

Miniseries debuts October 13 on Netflix

Ryan Murphy's second Netflix limited series in a month (following the critically disappointing but still a hit Dahmer - Monster) is based on a bizarre true story (first reported in New York Magazine) that finds a married couple buying their dream home in suburban New Jersey, only to be terrorized by an anonymous letter-writer/stalker from their not-so-welcoming neighborhood. The strong cast is led by Naomi Watts, Bobby Cannavale, Jennifer Coolidge, Mia Farrow, and Margo Martindale.
