Oxygen to examine Turpin case

NBCUniversal-backed US network Oxygen Media has ordered a two-hour special that will investigate a family charged with keeping their children shackled and starved at their home in California.

The Turpin 13: Family Secrets Exposed is from UK-based ITN Productions and will air on April 28 at 18.00 ET/PT, with journalist Soledad O’Brien hosting and executive producing.

The special will explore the story surrounding the Turpin family and parents David and Louise, who were arrested earlier this year and stand accused of holding their 13 children captive.

ITN Productions’ Ian Russell produces, with Michael Welsh and Anne Garofalo Paterno exec producing alongside O’Brien.

Last week ITN revealed another US production, an hour-long special focusing on the forthcoming wedding between Prince Harry and actor Meghan Markle for NBC in the US.
