Liz was the long-term girlfriend of this charismatic and highly intelligent, yet extremely dangerous individual. After struggling to see the truth for many years, she finally turned against Ted during his 1979 trial.
Efron plays the serial killer, executed by electric chair in 1989, while Lily Collins plays Liz. Also on the cast are John Malkovich as judge Edward Cowart, along with Jim Parsons of The Big Bang Theory and Haley Joel Osment (The Sixth Sense).
Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile lands May 3 on Netflix.
The streaming site’s catalogue already features a documentary series about Ted based on over 100 hours of conversations between the killer and a journalist taped during his time on death row.
