Happy Face is about a woman called Melissa (played by Annaleigh Ashford) whose father is the Happy Face Killer (played by Dennis Quaid). The incarcerated man tries to reconnect with his daughter, while she needs to find out if he's set someone else up for a crime.
The show is inspired by a podcast and memoir from a woman called Melissa G. Moore, whose father was a serial killer. However the story itself is fictional, with just the set-up being real.
Still, it'll be a good watch for fans of true crime, so here's how to watch Happy Face.
How to watch Happy Face
You can watch Happy Face on the streaming service Paramount Plus, with the series created as an original show for the CBS-owned platform. You can read the full release schedule for episodes below.
