Hulu is trying something different with Candy the miniseries will release one new episode per day, starting Monday, May 9, and ending Friday, May 13. That leads to the stabbing, or hacking, actually, since the murder weapon was an ax. Following Season 1 of The Sinner, Jessica Biel goes back to stabbing people on television in this five-night true crime miniseries about Candy Montgomery (Biel), a housewife in the 1980s who has an affair with her friend's ( Melanie Lynskey) husband ( Pablo Schreiber) after she feels constrained by the conformities of being a housewife.
