Elizabeth Olsen is picking up the axe.

HBO Max has released the first look at new miniseries Love and Death, which retells the chilling true story of accused axe murderer Candy Montgomery.

Based on the real-life story of a Texas housewife, the show is set to follow Olsen’s Montgomery as she begins an affair with her neighbor, Allan Gore (Jesse Plemons), and ultimately kills his wife Betty (Lily Rabe).

In the preview, Olsen’s Montgomery approaches Gore on the street as his wife watches.

“I’m very attracted to you,” she propositions him. “Would you be interested in having an affair?”

The show’s logline teases its bloody ending, reading that Love and Death focuses on “two church going couples, enjoying small town family life in Texas, until somebody picks up an axe.” Plus, the Love and Death team has some experience with bringing mysteries to life—David E. Kelley of Big Little Lies wrote and executive produced the show.
