‘Happy Face’ Release Guide: Here’s When New Episodes Come Out

Like Hulu’s “Good American Family,” which also premieres this week, “Happy Face” is based on an unbelievable true story.

The new drama explores the collateral damage of human evil, and thanks to the involvement of “The Good Wife” and “Evil” creators Robert and Michelle King, it has all the potential to become your next true-crime TV binge. That is assuming, of course, you do not mind the narrative and thematic darkness, as well as the off-putting lead performance from Dennis Quaid, that “Happy Face” has to offer.

Here is how, when and where you can watch new episodes of the series.

What is “Happy Face” about?

“Happy Face” is inspired by the life of podcast host and writer Melissa G. Moore, who discovered when she was 15 that her father was the serial killer known as the Happy Face killer. The series follows an adult Moore whose world is upended again when, following decades of zero contact, her incarcerated father finds a way back into her life. Facing a ticking clock, she must deduce whether or not a man who is about to be executed is actually innocent and being punished for a crime that her father committed.

Tony-winning actress Annaleigh Ashford (“Impeachment: American Crime Story”) leads the cast of “Happy Face,” which also includes Quaid (“Far From Heaven”), James Wolk (“Mad Men”), David Harewood (“Supergirl”), Tamera Tomakili (“Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty”), Khiyla Aynne (“Trap”) and Benjamin Mackey (“The Morning Show”).
