Season 1
Melissa, you can't hide forever.
Synopsis
Happy Face (2025), Season 1 is a true-crime drama you can watch online on iFILM — eight episodes built around the daughter of a serial killer.
A birthday card arrives, and Melissa's buried past is suddenly back in the room. Decades of no contact with her father, Keith, end the moment she suspects an innocent man may be executed for one of his crimes. So she goes public. She travels to Texas to dig into an old murder, hunts for missing evidence, and trades careful clues with a father who never stops manipulating from his cell. Her own daughter, meanwhile, starts a secret correspondence that should worry everyone.
Annaleigh Ashford plays a woman chasing the truth and her own name at once; Dennis Quaid is the smiling monster on the other end of the phone. The stakes here are inherited guilt, not gore. Stream Happy Face Season 1 online on iFILM.
