‘Fire Country’ Actor Cast As Bryan Kohberger in Lifetime Movie About Stabbing Spree
Bryan Kohberger’s brutal stabbing spree is getting the Lifetime treatment.
Actor Miles Merry has been cast as the criminology grad student who confessed to slaughtering University of Idaho students Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20, in the home the women shared in Moscow, Idaho, in November 2022, per Deadline.
The movie — which will chronicle the desperate search for the killer — is tentatively titled The Idaho Murders and is being made by the writer and producers that made 2023’s The Murdaugh Murders: The Movie, starring Bill Pullman.
Merry, 22 — who has appeared in episodes of Untamed, Fire Country and Firefly Lane — had previously starred in two other movies from the network’s “Ripped from the Headlines” series: Devil on Campus: The Larry Ray Story and The Girl in the Shed: The Kidnapping of Abby Hernandez.
According to Deadline, production is set to begin next month.
Kohberger is currently serving four life sentences at the Idaho Maximum Security Institution.
