Liz Cole, President, Nbc News Studios and Executive Producer at Dateline had this to say:

We have covered this story from all angles, including as an unwitting participant,” said Liz Cole, president of NBC News Studios and Executive Producer of Dateline. “Having been at the forefront of the true crime genre for so long, we know better than anyone that truth is often stranger than fiction, and with the twists and turns in this case, we saw a real opportunity to present it in a scripted format. We are so fortunate to co-produce it with the brilliant storytellers at Blumhouse Television.

Marci Wiseman and Jeremy Gold, the co-presidents of Blumhouse Television had this to say:

When we first came across The Thing About Pam, like thousands of others who’ve seen the Dateline episode and listened to the podcast, we were riveted. So when NBC presented this to us we jumped at making this our first scripted project with them
