Prime Video has ordered an untitled drama series based on the Karen Read case, with Elizabeth Banks set to star and executive produce. The project is described as being inspired by the Law&Crime and Audible Original podcast “Karen,” which covers Read’s involvement in a widely publicized murder case.
Across outlets, additional production details are consistent: the series is written and led by Justin Noble, who is also expected to serve as showrunner and executive producer. The show is set up as an unauthorized drama, according to one report, and is intended as a one-hour series. Reporting indicates the series was first in development earlier, with one outlet placing initial reports of the project in 2025. The announced order follows the same core creative premise—adapting material drawn from the podcast—while the exact scope of the storyline and production timeline are not detailed in the available accounts.
