The film follows Bundy’s killings throughout the late 70s from the perspective of his girlfriend Liz Kendall (Lily Collins) as she struggles to come with terms with the capital crimes committed by her boyfriend.
After its premiere at Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, “Extremely Wicked” found itself in a bidding war that saw Netflix secure the rights to the film for a reported $9 million.
