WESTFIELD, NJ — A Netflix mini-series based on a creepy, but true Westfield story could have a star studded cast. According to Deadline, the Netflix limited series called "The Watcher" will cast Jennifer Coolidge as well as Naomi Watts and Bobby Cannavale. The series is being produced by Ryan Murphy of "Glee" and "American Horror Story" fame. The series follows Westfield couple, Maria and Derek Broaddus, who bought the house in 2014 on a quiet street in Westfield, the town where Maria had grown up. They hoped to raise their three children there, but received threatening letters until they sold the house in 2019 — and to this day, no one knows who wrote the "Watcher" missives. Watts and Cannavale will play the couple — no word on who Coolidge will play. Up until a report that was published online in The Cut in 2018, only a handful of phrases from The Watcher's letters were known to the public. When the full accounting of the text was revealed, Patch assembled a list of ten things that creeped us out the most. Netflix has not released an official streaming date for the series.
