New Television Miniseries Exposes Jessica Fletcher As Serial Killer!
A stunning new miniseries premiering during spring sweeps will radically alter a beloved classic series. Entitled Murder, I Did, the miniseries will chronicle the arrest and conviction of Jessica Fletcher, the sweater-wearing crime solver of the hit mystery series Murder, She Wrote. Angela Lansbury will reprise her role as the gentle and clever amateur sleuth/serial killer.
Fans thrilled to the amazing mysteries solved by Lansbury’s Fletcher for twelve seasons in the eighties and nineties. During her time on television, Fletcher managed to solve 264 murders, all of which conveniently seemed to occur whenever Fletcher arrived somewhere. In fact, many fans began to wonder about the high body count that followed Fletcher around, but they never suspected that their beloved crime-solver was ever involved in the murders themselves.
But for series creators Richard Levinson and William Link, this miniseries is the chance to reward eagle-eyed fans of the show. “We dropped subtle clues throughout the series to point to Jessica as the actual killer,” said Levinson in a telephone interview. Added Link: “Jessica is the greatest serial killer never known!”
For 84 year old Lansbury, turning the tables on her Jessica character is a dream come true. “I regret ever playing that boring bitch,” said Lansbury, adding that “everywhere I go I have old ladies coming up and hugging me. It’s disgusting.”
The four-part miniseries will culminate in a climactic execution scene in which Jessica is electrocuted in front of a group comprised of family members of her 264 victims. “It will be an unforgettable television moment when Jessica meets her well-deserved end,” said Levinson. He also shared this juicy sneak preview of that final death scene: “Jessica screams profanities as they flip the switch, and her sweater ignites in flames.”
Lansbury said that she relished that nasty ending to Jessica’s story. “Hopefully now everyone will stay away from me because they’re scared I will kill them,” said Lansbury, smiling. She revealed that she lobbied hard for Jessica to die “by guillotine” or some other torturous method. In the end, Lansbury said that burning Jessica alive is “an ending I can live with.”
The miniseries will premiere after the season finale of The Mentalist this May.
