GREENLIGHTS

“This documentary shares a deeply painful time in my and my daughter’s life… stalking is a global crisis.”

Paramount+ has greenlit “My Nightmare Stalker: The Eva LaRue Story,” a documentary set to premiere later this year. The project will feature Eva LaRue (“CSI: Miami”, “All My Children”) recounting her personal experiences with stalking.

The documentary will feature LaRue as she “shares the harrowing true story of how she and her daughter Kaya endured 12 years of terror at the hands of a relentless stalker – a man who operated from the shadows,turning their everyday lives into a chilling nightmare,” according to the official logline. “In this gripping account, Eva reveals the emotional toll, the terrifying encounters, and the strength it took to protect her family and survive.”

“This documentary shares a deeply painful time in my and my daughter’s life-an experience shared by nearly 13.5 million stalking victims each year,” said LaRue. “Stalking is a global crisis, often involving violence and lasting psychological trauma. Yet many victims are denied justice due to weak laws, limited awareness, and the challenge of proving these crimes.I hope my story raises awareness and helps drive meaningful change in how authorities protect victims and pursue justice.”

Susan Zirinsky, President of See it Now Studios, praised LaRue’s courage in sharing her story for the first time. “Eva’s extraordinary talent as an actress is matched only by her remarkable courage. After a relentless 12-year ordeal that put both her and her daughter in life-threatening danger, she has chosen to confront the unimaginable with strength, and offers hope for those living in the shadow of fear. We’re honored to help tell her story – a journey so harrowing and chilling that its unfeasible to imagine it’s not straight from a script page of a crime thriller.”
