Plot Synopsis
THE THING ABOUT PAM is a limited drama series based on the 2011 murder of Betsy Faria that resulted in her husband Russ's conviction, although he insisted he didn't kill her. He was later exonerated. This brutal crime set off a chain of events that would expose a diabolical scheme deeply involving Pam Hupp. A thorough examination of the scheme was featured on several episodes of DATELINE NBC, becoming one of the most popular topics to ever air on the hit franchise. It also became the subject of a popular 2019 podcast, "The Thing About Pam," which has been downloaded over 20 million times. Executive produced by series star Renee Zellweger, THE THING ABOUT PAM premieres on Tuesday, March 8, 2022 at 10pm ET/PT on NBC.
