Bryan Christopher Kohberger was charged with four counts of murder after Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin were found stabbed to death in their off-campus home in Moscow, Idaho in 2022. A trial date has been set for June 2025.

David Ellison, Dana Goldberg,...

The docuseries, from Skydance Television and Story Syndicate, will chronicle “the November 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students and the subsequent investigation, arrest, and trial of suspect Bryan Kohberger,” per a press release. It will be based on the upcoming nonfiction book about the murders by James Patterson and Vicky Ward. Both the docuseries and scripted series stem from Patterson’s first-look deal with Skydance.

Emmy winner Liz Garbus will co-direct the docuseries with Matthew Galkin. Garbus will also direct the first episode of the scripted series.

In November 2022, four University of Idaho students were fatally stabbed at their off-campus house in Moscow, Idaho. The 28-year-old Bryan Kohberger was arrested in December 2022 on four counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony burglary. He is set to go on...

Showtime is unlocking a selection of original programming — for free, with ads — in a new channel on Pluto TV.

It’s a logical bit of corporate synergy between the two ViacomCBS-owned divisions, with Showtime ultimately looking to coax free viewers into customers forking over $10.99/month.

As a most unusual holiday season begins, it’s going to be harder for streaming services to demand our attention. With its new releases for December 2020, Amazon Prime is trying its best anyway.

This is actually an uncommonly jam-packed and intriguing roster of content for Bezos’s outfit. The list this month is highlighted by the release of The Expanse season 5 on Dec. 16. The beloved sci-fi series made the jump from Syfy to Amazon last year and things went well enough that it’s coming back for more. That returning show is complemented by another new genre series. The Wilds premieres on Dec. 11 and will follows a group of teenage girls lost (or Lost) on a deserted island.

Amazon’s original movies in December are just as intriguing. Riz Ahmed plays a heavy metal drummer losing his hearing in Sound of Metal on Dec. 4. Rachel Brosnahan stars as a mother...

Hard as it is to believe with everything going on right now, but Christmas is only about five weeks away, and the streaming market is already looking crowded. Although Netflix can probably expect to continue their dominance over subscribers through the end of 2020, Amazon Prime are releasing some notable titles for the last month of the year, including original films like I’m Your Woman and new episodes of The Expanse.

In terms of the former, it stars Rachel Brosnahan of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel in a picture about a woman who has to go on the run after her husband gets into trouble with his business partner. We’ll also be seeing the much-anticipated Sound of Metal, which features Riz Ahmed as a heavy metal drummer who develops hearing loss. This one will receive a limited theatrical release before heading to Amazon on December 4th. And elsewhere, viewers can expect...

Coronavirus stay-at-home orders dramatically impacted television viewing habits, driving up consumption of just about every genre of programming, including documentary. The resulting huge audience numbers and media attention generated by Tiger King and The Last Dance could give those nonfiction series a leg-up as Emmy voters prepare to mark their nomination ballots.

Tiger King, the seven-part series on “murder, mayhem and madness” in the eccentric world of big cat breeders and private zoo operators, dropped on Netflix March 20, just as lockdown orders were being imposed across much of the U.S. Director Eric Goode is the first to say people moored in their homes, TV remote in hand, helped turn the series into a cultural phenomenon.

“I do think we all must assume that that’s part of it,” Goode states. “For sure.”

Tiger King is contending for Emmy nominations in multiple categories, including Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Series. It...

Whodunit? That question has long animated true crime. But as crime documentaries — about murder in particular — have multiplied in recent years, so too have the approaches to telling such stories. For filmmakers seeking to transcend what can be a formulaic genre, the question of "Who?" has taken a back seat to "So what?" What do these stories about victims and perpetrators say about us as a society? And why does it matter?

Questions like those drew director Matthew Galkin, 46, to journalist Ethan Brown's 2016 book Murder in the Bayou: Who Killed the Women Known as ...

If you, like so many of us, have found yourself doing an absurd amount of binge-watching during isolation and yet you find yourself struggling to find a decent thing actually worth watching, here is TheWrap’s list of the five most binge-worthy original series from the major streamers, including Netflix, Hulu, HBO, Disney+, Apple TV+, Showtime, and Amazon.

Netflix: “Love Is Blind”

Little did we know that soon enough, we’d all be in the pods. Close your eyes and let the sweet, grating tones of Jessica’s voice carry you away.

Netflix: “The Witcher”

Watch this while you pray that Henry Cavill didn’t come in contact with the infected “Game of Thrones” actor who was set to star in Season 2 of this monster-hunter drama.

Netflix: “Sex Education”

Try not to think of all the sex you’re not having while cooped up in quarantine/isolation.

Voot Select, Viacom18’s newly launched Indian premium streaming service, is looking to build on the success of its Avod service Voot with a focus on content.

“The biggest advantage for us, which doesn’t exist at least with the international Ott platforms that exist here is that we have a very strong Avod business, and this is a paywall as a layer on top of the Avod service,” Ferzad Palia, head of Voot Select, Youth, Music and English Entertainment, Viacom18, told Variety. “We have 100 million monthly active users who we are extremely familiar with, and they interact with us very often, so we know their likes, dislikes, preferences, and their affinity to particular kinds of content.”

Disney’s Hotstar is the market leader in the Indian streaming space with some 300 million monthly active users.

Based on the familiarity with the user base, and market research, Voot commissioned 30 Originals across genres.

Exclusive: Continuing its rapid growth, Ben Silverman and Howard Owens’ Propagate has pacted with Showtime to handle international sales on dozens of the premium network’s documentary films and docuseries. Under the agreement, Propagate will represent all available rights outside North America on select catalog, current and upcoming titles. Propagate has partnered with Scott Kaplan of Domino Content across the slate.

Included in the deal are such titles as Couples Therapy, Murder In The Bayou, The Trade and Enemies: The President, Justice & The FBI, produced by Alex Gibney’s Jigsaw.

Couples Therapy is a look into a usually hidden world as Dr Orna Guralnik guides four couples through the minefield of honest confrontation with each other and themselves. The series was recently renewed for a second season.

Murder In The Bayou hails from Kevorkian director Matthew Galkin and bestselling nonfiction author Ethan Brown. This is Showtime’s first true-crime docuseries...

“Murder in the Bayou” — the Showtime docuseries from investigative journalist Ethan Brown and director Matthew Galkin — aired its fifth and final episode Friday. TheWrap spoke with Brown and Galkin about bringing the murder cases of eight women from Louisiana’s Jefferson Davis Parish to the small screen, and the questions that surround the still-open investigation.

Based on Brown’s best-selling novel of the same name, the series followed the murders of eight women who became known as the Jeff Davis 8: Loretta Lynn Chaisson Lewis, Ernestine Marie Daniels Patterson, Kristen Gary Lopez, Whitnei Dubois, Laconia “Muggy” Brown, Crystal Shay Benoit Zeno, Brittney Gary, and Necole Guillory. The oldest was 30; the youngest, 17.

Killed between 2005 and 2009, the similarities between the women were striking, both in life and death. All of their bodies discarded in similar ways — either dumped on the side of the road or in bodies of water — the majority were...
