Specials

MENENDEZ BROTHERS: MISJUDGED?

August

Thirty years ago, the nation watched every moment of the Menendez Brothers’ dramatic trial in real time on Court TV. Now, thanks to TikTok and social media, an entirely new generation is learning their story for the very first time. Details of the murder were seared into our collective memory: the 911 call, the crime scene photos, the Rolexes. The media narrative – that two Beverly Hill boys killed their parents out of greed and allegedly concocted a fantastic account to get out of it – remains a national punchline. But now, three decades later, as Gen Z discovers the case, they see the story of two boys who suffered horrific abuse at the hands of their mother, father… and the media. Did we get it all wrong?

WHO KILLED BIGGIE AND TUPAC? (wt)

August

25 years of contempt, controversy, and conspiracy all lead to the same single question: who killed Biggie and Tupac? Now, with exclusive interviews and unique insight into both shootings, this series offers up answers from the key players involved. Who do you believe is telling the truth?

MARY KAY LETOURNEAU: NOTES ON A SCANDAL

August

With all the ingredients of a Hollywood movie, this sex scandal shocked, enthralled, and enraged 1990s America. 34-year-old elementary school teacher, Mary Kay Letourneau, who was married with 4 kids, began an affair in 1997 with her 12-year-old student, Vili Fualauu. They not only didn’t deny the outrageous behavior, but they would also eventually embrace the love affair that included French-kissing on school grounds, trysts in her van, and even sexual rendezvous in her family home. The question on everyone’s mind was: Is this true love, or is Mary Kay Letourneau a pedophile, guilty of child rape?

THE KILLER NANNY

August

The murder trial of British au pair Louise Woodward was televised live in the UK transfixing viewers and splitting public opinion about whether she was guilty or innocent. Twenty-five years later evidence is reexamined with unprecedented access to witnesses, the defense team, the prosecution, and members of the jury who decided her fate.

HOUSE OF HAMMER (wt)

Debauchery. Deceit. Abuse. Addiction. Corruption. Over the course of five generations, the men in the Hammer family have more secrets and scandals than any vault can contain. Armie Hammer’s alleged crimes are only the tip of the iceberg. Through a trove of archive and interviews from survivors and family members, the dark and twisted secrets of the Hammer family come to light. Behind the money and power lies a dysfunctional dynasty with its male characters exhibiting all the devastating consequences of privilege gone wild.

GABBY PETITO: AN ID MURDER MYSTERY

October

On the one-year anniversary of Gabby Petito’s disappearance and eventual death which caused a media firestorm comes a thought-provoking special to break down the harsh realities of her fatal relationship with Brian Laundrie.

New Series and Reboots

DISAPPEARED

Capitalizing on the success of ID’s DISAPPEARED podcast comes a television re-invention of the beloved franchise. After growing demand from devoted fans, ID reboots its missing persons series to help shine a light on more individuals who vanished seemingly without a trace, and whose loved ones are still searching for answers. The series aims to bring answers for the missing and closure to their loved ones – sometimes with devastating results.

WHO THE (BLEEP) DID I MARRY?

One of ID’s iconic series is back to reveal stories of happily ever after gone terribly wrong. Following the success of the recently released podcast, WHO THE (BLEEP) DID I MARRY? returns to ID after a seven year hiatus with a modern-day makeover. All-new episodes highlight manipulative and dangerous criminals who use their charm to cheat, steal, and lure unsuspecting victims into romantic relationships – ultimately leaving a wake of devastation … and even death.

WILD WICKED WEST (wt)

Set in an epic landscape where traditions of blood and vengeance run deep as the canyons and murder is still solved the old school way, this gripping series reveals the most compelling murders committed in some of the wildest and most remote towns in the western US. With few or no witnesses, no CCTV and oftentimes a dead phone signal, these can be the hardest cases for cops to crack.

MURDERER NEXT DOOR

These are stories of ordinary folks who confront the evil that was always right in front of them. Through the lens of home archive, we journey with our insiders into shocking crimes to reveal what was missed before tragedy changed everything.

Returning Series

IN PURSUIT WITH JOHN WALSH

After an incredibly successful 36 episodes with 36 featured fugitives found or brought to justice, ID and victims’ rights advocate John Walsh are teaming up to hunt down persons of interest and find missing children with the fourth season of IN PURSUIT WITH JOHN WALSH.

JOE KENDA, and now he’s back to tip his cap to the other great men and women who answered the call. In AMERICAN DETECTIVE, Kenda trades in his own case files to bring viewers astounding investigations from across the country, with each episode profiling a different detective whose tireless efforts helped bring justice for the victim.

UNDERCOVER UNDERAGE

This intense docuseries follows the work of child advocate Roo Powell – a 39-year-old mother of three – who poses online as underage decoys to identify dangerous internet child predators. Through her organization SOSA (Safe from Online Sex Abuse), Roo and her team work in collaboration with law enforcement to detect offenders who prey on unsuspecting kids.
