Happy Face Canceled by Paramount+ After One Season, Kohberger Case Echoes Dahmer Concerns

Paramount+ opted not to renew 'Happy Face,' a crime drama starring Annaleigh Ashford and Dennis Quaid, after its first season. The show, inspired by Melissa Moore's true-life story and podcast, failed to gain significant traction in the streaming ratings. Meanwhile, Keith Jesperson, also known as the 'Happy Face Killer,' suggested that Bryan Kohberger, convicted in the Idaho student murders, be transferred to the Oregon State Penitentiary for his own safety. Jesperson argues that the Oregon prison is better equipped to protect high-profile inmates from those seeking to make a name for themselves. This concern echoes the case of Jeffrey Dahmer, who was murdered by a fellow inmate. Kohberger's social awkwardness and the nature of his crimes may make him a target in prison. Authorities are currently evaluating Kohberger's housing and security needs at the Idaho Maximum Security Institution.

Paramount+ canceled the series due to low viewership and failure to break into Nielsen's Streaming Originals Top 10.

Jesperson believes his prison can better protect Kohberger from inmates who might seek to harm him for notoriety.

Kohberger's high-profile case, coupled with his social awkwardness, makes him a potential target for other inmates.
