A scripted limited series about the JonBenét Ramsey case, starring Melissa McCarthy and Clive Owen, has moved to Netflix from Paramount+. Multiple outlets report that Netflix will release the project this winter as a global original, with an exact premiere date not yet announced. The series is now titled “The Murder of JonBenét Ramsey.”
The production had previously been announced for Paramount+ before being shelved there late last year. Deadline adds that the Netflix release is likely timed around the 30th anniversary of JonBenét Ramsey’s killing on Dec. 25, 1996, though a specific date remains pending.
Across reports, the core details are consistent: it is a limited series focused on the widely covered investigation into the 1996 murder of six-year-old JonBenét Ramsey, and McCarthy and Owen star in the lead roles. Sources also note that the series is set to premiere in the coming months, with release timing framed as winter and potentially connected to the anniversary.
