Jessica Biel on How Justin Timberlake Scored His Role in Candy

Things get increasingly dark and tense as Candy progresses, but Episode 4 does offer a nice little surprise via casting choices. Not only is it revealed that Jessica Biels husband, Justin Timberlake, is playing the lead detective on the case, but also that Melanie Lynskeys husband, Jason Ritter, is his partner. The Hulu series is inspired by the true story of Candy Montgomery (Biel). She seems to be the perfect 1980s housewife, a loving wife and mother with a beautiful home who always goes above and beyond, and functions as the Queen Bee of the community. However, then she becomes the chief suspect in the murder of her neighbor, Betty Gore (Lynskey).
