Mushroom Murders: Melanie Lynskey to Play Erin Patterson in Paramount+'s Six-Part Crime Drama
One family lunch, four guests poisoned and three deaths that became international headlines. Paramount+ is turning the Erin Patterson case into a six-part drama titled Mushroom Murders: There's More to Unearth, with Melanie Lynskey attached to portray the convicted Australian woman. Announced on October 28, 2026, the series will focus on the 97 days between the July 2023 lunch and Patterson's arrest, rather than presenting a conventional courtroom retelling. A 2027 premiere is planned, with no exact date confirmed.
