Director Kat Candler Bring Us Behind the Lens & Joseph La Corte Shares Threads of Truth
Murdaugh: Death in the Family Official PodcastShow Notes
Journalist Mandy Matney sits down with two of the creative forces who shaped the heart and tone of Hulu’s original series — Director Kat Candler (Episodes 6 & 7) and Costume Designer Joseph La Corte.
Together with journalist Liz Farrell, we pull back the curtain on the artistry and ethics behind dramatizing a real story still unfolding in courtrooms and headlines with audio and analysis from the original reporting.
Kat Candler, known for her delicate touch and human-centered storytelling, opens up about the challenge of bringing the horrific murders of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh to life with empathy and respect. Candler’s insight reveals how the series balances darkness with humanity, exploring the psychology of power and the choices that led to tragedy.
Then, 4-time Emmy-nominated costume designer Joseph La Corte discusses clothing as an essential storytelling tool — from Maggie’s quietly powerful wardrobe to Alex Murdaugh’s chilling transformation through the recreation of real-life evidence.
Their meticulous attention to detail brings the narrative to life, grounding each scene in unsettling truth.
