After the stunning success of Netflix’s Making a Murderer and HBO’s The Jinx, it seems that true crime is on the mind of every TV commissioning editor the world over. These two shows are just the tip of the iceberg of an amazing array of documentary, factual and unscripted programming that are drawing in big business and big bucks for producers and broadcasters alike. Internationally, unscripted series such as 60 Days In are capturing audiences in unprecedented numbers. Locally, the success of programs like Conviction (ABC) and Deep Water (SBS) reveal that local commissioners can explore Australia’s most unsettling crimes to great acclaim. 
The verdict is in: True Crime is hot, and we want more of it. So how can producers tap into this trend and make successful and engaging content? What are broadcasters looking for? And how can we keep the genre fresh and exciting while remaining respectful to the subjects and stories we seek to tell? True Crime All the Time will canvass all of these questions – and more.
