Johnny Berchtold and Will Harrison have joined the untitled Hulu limited series about the Murdaugh Murders from showrunner Michael D. Fuller, who co-created the project with Erin Lee Carr.

The series tells the story of Maggie and Alex Murdaugh’s “stranger-than-fiction family drama, a riveting account drawing from countless hours of reporting by Mandy Matney – journalist and creator of the popular Murdaugh Murders Podcast – as well as exclusive, insider knowledge from years spent following the case,” details a release from the streamer.

Berchtold has been cast as Paul Murdaugh. Paul Murdaugh is Alex and Maggie’s hard-partying youngest son who constantly finds himself in some form of trouble. Paul is always on the hunt for a good time regardless of the consequences.

Harrison joins the series as Buster Murdaugh, the golden boy of the Murdaugh family. Buster’s well on his way to following in the legal footsteps of his father Alex and grandfather Randolph. Buster’s also the apple of his mother Maggie’s eye, a lifelong source of tension with his younger brother Paul.

The series hails from co-creator and showrunner Michael D. Fuller (“Quarry,” “Rectify” and “Locke & Key”) and co-creator Erin Lee Carr (“Britney vs Spears,” “I Love You, Now Die” and “Mommy Dead and Dearest”). Nick Antosca (“A Friend of the Family,” “The Act” and “Candy”) and Alex Hedlund for Eat the Cat will executive produce along with Mandy Matney. UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group, is the studio.

Harrison is represented by Gersh and Sugar23.
