Paramount+ Sets True-Crime Docuseries ‘Handsome Devil’ About the ‘Deadpool Killer’ (EXCLUSIVE)

Paramount+ has announced the development of a gripping new true-crime documentary titled “Handsome Devil: Charming Killer,” which delves into the chilling case of Wade Wilson, infamously known as the “Deadpool Killer.” Convicted in 2019 for the brutal murders of Kristine Melton and Diane Ruiz, Wilson’s story is one that has captivated and horrified the public, raising questions about the nature of evil and the factors that drive individuals to commit such heinous acts. Set to premiere in early 2026, this three-part series aims to provide a comprehensive exploration of Wilson’s life, the circumstances surrounding the murders, and the psychological aspects that contributed to his actions.

The documentary promises to offer a deep dive into the mind of Wilson, who, at just 25 years old, was sentenced to life in prison for his crimes. Through a combination of interviews, archival footage, and expert analysis, “Handsome Devil: Charming Killer” seeks to unravel the complex narrative of Wilson’s life leading up to the murders. The title itself hints at the paradox of his persona—how someone can appear charming and charismatic while harboring the capacity for such violence. The series will not only recount the tragic events but also examine the societal and personal factors that may have influenced Wilson’s descent into darkness, raising important discussions about mental health, societal pressures, and the warning signs of violent behavior.

As the true-crime genre continues to thrive in popular culture, “Handsome Devil: Charming Killer” stands out by focusing on a case that has left a lasting impact on the communities involved. The documentary aims to engage viewers not just with the gruesome details of the crimes, but also with the broader implications of Wilson’s actions. By shedding light on the complexities of his character and the tragic outcomes of his choices, Paramount+ hopes to create a thought-provoking narrative that resonates with audiences long after the credits roll. As anticipation builds for its 2026 release, this series is poised to contribute to the ongoing conversation about crime, morality, and the human condition.
