FilmRise teams with FirstLookTV for Making a Serial Killer true crime series

True crime series Making a Serial Killer

New York-based streamer and distributor FilmRise has ordered a 10-episode true crime series called Making a Serial Killer from the UK’s FirstLookTV.

The deal gives FilmRise all rights for North America, German-speaking Europe, and Australia and New Zealand.

FilmRise and FirstLookTV previously collaborated on true crime series Meet, Marry, Murder, hosted by Michelle Trachtenberg that launched in September. The series has been bought by US network Fox for streaming on its platform Tubi.

Making a Serial Killer focuses on what makes killers do what they do, taking insights from scientific experts, detectives and survivors.

Episodes feature accounts from the parents of a victim of back-to-school killer Jesse Matthew, two siblings who survived East Lansing serial killer Don Miller and the lead investigator who caught Toronto’s Bruce McArthur.
