Directed by Lesli Linka Glatter and written by David E. Kelley for HBO Max, the American crime drama series, Love & Death, follows the true story of Texas housewife, Candy Montgomery, who was accused of murdering her friend, Betty Gore, in the 1980s and stars Olsen, Jesse Plemons, Lily Rabe, Krysten Ritter, and more.

“Two church-going couples enjoying small-town family life in Texas, until somebody picks up an axe.”
How many episodes are in Love & Death?
It was previously confirmed by IMDB that Love & Death has seven episodes to air within the miniseries.
Since the show is confirmed to be a limited series, we already know ahead of its premiere that there will be no second season, as the source material is also limited.
The episode titles are still to be announced and the series is two episodes longer than Hulu’s miniseries, Candy, which covered the same topic last year.
